Don't miss out on:
- 3 excellent keynote speakers
- 3.5 days of preconference and main conference sessions
- 3 industry tours (One is full—so hurry!)
- 3 nights (more or less) in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona (Phoenix area)
- 3 more reasons to attend: (1) Experience extraordinary networking opportunities. (2) Catch up on the latest in emerging and growing technologies. (3) See the innovative Technology Showcase featuring National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education centers and projects as well as high-tech industry leaders.
The Technology Showcase will feature two special exhibitions in a designated demonstration area: BattleBots on Tuesday and FIRST Robotics on Wednesday. High school and community college students will be on site, chaperoned by faculty members as they showcase their robots. BattleBots are remote-controlled, armed and armored machines that students design and/or build. They will be placed in a 13' x 13' enclosed arena to do battle in the Technology Showcase on Tuesday. The object is for one "bot" to dominate or disable the other. FIRST Robotics challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in various competitions. Students from Cesar Chavez High School in Phoenix will show off their creations in a roped-off area in the Technology Showcase on Wednesday.
