Embrace the Change, Empower the Future
Embrace the Change, Empower the Future
As continuing education professionals continue to mold and adapt programming to fit the needs of our participants, we find ourselves seeking out more ways to be creative with our offerings in order to meet the expectations of those around us. Join us at the 2022 GCEA Annual Conference where we will “Embrace the Change and Empower the Future”!
Sessions will be offered in Workforce and Contract Training, Marketing and Programming, where you will have the opportunity to learn new strategies for providing award-winning programs to your community and strengthen the ideas and processes you already have in place.
We are meeting in-person this year at the Hyatt Regency in Savannah, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Why Should You Attend?
The Annual Conference is designed to provide strategies, techniques, tips, latest trends, and best practices to lead your training unit to the next level of education and training. The information in each session will be appealing, relative, and on the cutting edge of our profession. Best of all, you will be able to implement it immediately!
