June 11th - 15th, 2012

The AIM Institute is pleased to present the ninth annual Working Connections IT Conference at Iowa Western Community College June 11 - 15, 2012. The conference was designed to help IT faculty from community colleges and high schools, as well as IT industry professionals from businesses, stay current with trends and new developments in Information Technology.

There will be some changes to the format for this year’s conference.  We are offering attendees the opportunity to select from six Monday-Tuesday sessions as well as from five different - but related - Wednesday-Friday sessions.  In addition, there will be one, five-day training on VMware vSphere.  Each session includes hands-on instruction, which allows attendees to develop a thorough understanding of the topic.  Click the ‘Sessions’ link in the sidebar to learn more about the various sessions or view the Conference Agenda here.

Hundreds of IT educators and professionals from throughout the region have attended the Working Connections IT Conference, held on the campus of Iowa Western Community College, and nearly all of the attendees reported the time spent at the conference was a very valuable professional development experience.

About Working Connections Conferences
The Working Connections conferences were started as a fresh, new approach to faculty development through a partnership of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), Microsoft, and National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET). The original goal was to help community college IT faculty stay current in their field through a one-week professional development event. The AIM Institute and the Midwest Center for Information Technology (MCIT) have expanded the conference to include high school IT instructors as well as business and industry IT professionals.
