Hi Katie -
This sounds like a great proposal, but keep in mind that the Global Education Conference is not an event solely focused on tech. Please review our mission: http://www.globaleducationconference.com/notes/The_GEC_Mission_Stat... and perhaps add language to your proposal that ties to this. When you have edited your proposal, let me know and I'll review it again.
Thanks,
Lucy Gray
Conference Co-Chair
Hi Lucy,
Thank you so much for that clarification, and feedback. I've edited my proposal, and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Cheers,
Katie WIlliams
Well, I was hoping for a little more elaboration, but this works! Great to have you involved... I'm working with an international school in Manhattan and many folks there seem to think very highly of your school!
