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!

Today’s students are surrounded by technology 24/7. With smart phones, laptops, and tablets in book bags, internet accessible TV’s at home, and WIFI connections in every corner shop, they’re texting, tweeting, and always connecting. So it’s time to take advantage of all that technology and teach them how to use it to get what they really want… a good job.
