It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!

The attendees will gain in-depth knowledge of the topics of choice current in the field. This session will also include information based on planned learning opportunity for courses and curricula as well as networking with those who have similar interests.

The authors of the chapters will present lessons learned from their work that can be carried over into everyday adult education. The content from the chapters will include strategies and insight into adult learning with new innovative research. Furthermore, the impact of this program will also create opportunities for information to be used in practice in terms of teaching, administering, planning, and implementing.
