Call for Submittals
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT: 11.15.24 at 5:00 PM
The 2025 theme for Georgia Chapter of the Association for Learning Environments Summer Conference is “Communication is Key: Unlock Your Success”.
George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
This year’s theme speaks to the following:
- Communication is the foundation for success in all aspects of personal and professional life.
- In situations where conflict does arise, effective communication is a key factor to ensure that the situation is resolved in a respectful manner.
- We’re in the business of teaching, learning, and growing. Whether this occurs in the classroom, the office, or the jobsite, we’re all participating on each of these levels.
- We all view the world through a different lens. Effective, empathetic, and clear communication is how we come together to establish common goals, standards, and expectations.
The Summer Conference is quickly approaching, and we anticipate another exceptional conference. It’s time to open our Call for Presentations.
- June 22-25, 2025 Summer Conference at Jekyll Island
Our goal is to provide presentations that challenge the industry to provide facilities that will provide Georgia Schools with high performance facilities that will withstand the ever-evolving education environment.
All presentations should focus on educating school facility representatives and other attendees on new technologies, updated processes and procedures, innovative strategies, etc. that support our stated theme. We particularly encourage joint participation with school facility representatives where real-life strategies have been implemented. We encourage school facility representatives with interesting challenges and stories to share them with their peers through presentations, as well. Sessions should not have a commercial or sales-oriented focus.
Sessions will be sixty (60) minutes in length, with a balance of time for presentation and group discussion. AV equipment will be available, if requested. All presentations will be converted to PDF files and posted to the Georgia A4LE website. All proposals for consideration must be submitted on or before November 15, 2024 at 5:00 PM.
