New members have until October 26th to register, but we will be opening registration up to Vanchise members on October 22nd on a first come first serve basis. We encourage new members to register before Monday so that we have as accurate a count as possible to know how many spots are available to Vanchise members.

Please note, the Instructional Technology department will pay for subs for all Vanguard members, but the school will need to pay for subs for Vanchise members. Remember, all Vanguard and Vanchise members who wish to attend the conference will need to obtain permission from their principal.

GaETC is a 3-day event, November 7-9, 2018 at the Georgia International Convention Center (2000 Convention Center Concourse; College Park, GA 30337).

As a member of Vanguard, your attendance and your substitute is paid for by the Instructional Technology department!

You can attend 3 days, 2 days or 1 day. All you need to do is follow these 3 easy steps:

1. Discuss with your Principal.
2. Secure your Sub
3. Register for GaETC before Oct. 13th, 2018!
   
   

Chris Olateru will communicate with your school bookkeeper concerning the substitute reimbursement.

Fulton County Vanguard Members have been assigned the Group Code FCVAN350. You must register to attend the conference no later than Oct. 13 so that you will receive your name badge by mail and expedite your check-in onsite.
