Just how big is this conference?

By Mary Bigelow

Posted on 2008-03-26

According to the NSTA conference website, there are over 1400 presentations and workshops (not counting other special sessions and happenings)! I was finding it hard to visualize this until this evening when I picked up my hard copy of the conference program (I should say programs – plural). There are four volumes, one for the events on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday/Sunday, plus another volume devoted to the exhibitors! The events are arranged by time slot, but they are also cross-referenced by subject and conference strand. There’s also a list of presenters, so you can look for someone in particular (and it’s really a thrill to see your own name there!). I can’t imagine all of the work that goes into organizing a conference of this size. I’m going to settle in now and pick out what I want to see tomorrow. So many topics and so little time!
