SW/WC Service Cooperative - Market Street Mall

The 2010, 4th Annual SW/WC Service Cooperative Technology Conference promises to have something for everyone. We have kept our technology staff, superintendents, principals, office staff and teachers from our schools as well as the leadership and employees of our City, County and Other Government Agencies in mind when planning this conference. Conference Sessions are geared to follow the themes of Technology Leadership, Integration, Instruction, Support, Internet Safety, Adaptive Technologies and Data Driven Decision Making at all levels.
Please download our Conference Guide for complete details about the Technology Conference. Also, to aid you in planning out the sesisons you would like to register for we have put together a breakout session grid to help you during your registration process. When registering it is important to choose only one breakout session in each session series as indicated by the first number in each session number to avoid time conflicts.
Sessions do have a capacity limit to them so it is important to register as soon as you can. In the past some sessions have filled up in the first week of registration.
Conference Locations
We have moved the Technology Conference to The Centers at Southwest Minnesota State University as we have outgrown the space we had available to us at the Market Street Mall. This new facility will present a modern look and feel to our conference and allow our conference to grow further.
Parking will be avialble in lot A-1 located on the southeast corner of the campus. The entrance to the Centers is located west of the parking lot. SMSU Map and Parking Information
The Pre-Conference Workshops will continue to be held at our offices in the Market Street Mall on Wednesday, March 10 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
