ASME Conference
Sustainable energy is trending around the world. The ASME Conference series this summer is focusing on technological advances in energy conservation and the creation of sustainable energy. Attendees will learn about how technology plays a key role in providing energy in an efficient manner and maintaining power grids.
ANCC National Magnet Conference
The term magnet does not immediately resonate with magnet usage, but magnets are used in many technology items. Neodymium magnets were discovered in 1982 and were created to cut down the cost of permanent magnets. The strongest neodymium magnet is the N52, which has a pull force of almost 9-pounds. The N52 is on a one-quarter inch block. When the block size is doubled, the N52 magnet has a pull force of more than 32-pounds.
The ANCC National Magnet Conference will offer more than 150 concurrents. Attendees will be able to test new magnet technologies and products. Students can earn nursing education hours for partaking in the conference while networking, learn about advances in magnet technology for medical use, and listen to inspirational presentations from peers.
TCEA Technology Jamboree
Children are fascinated with science and technology. The Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) is hosting an event specifically for teachers and educators to include technology in their classrooms called the TCEA 2016 Tots and Technology Summer Conference that will be held in Galveston, Texas beginning on June 12th. The conference closes at 5p.m. on June 14th. Educators will be given information on how to talk about technology so that children can understand the concepts and how to include technology in the classroom to make learning more interesting.
Another similiar education-driven technology conference this summer is the Premier Education Technology Conference hosted by ISTE. More than 1,000 sessions are scheduled. The event is said to include more than 500 companies and more than 16,000 top educators. Many children learn visually. Teachers will be able to try new items to help their children learn in the classroom. Every child learns differently and some learn better through hands-on approaches. This conference is one that educational workers should not miss.
Mobile Beat - Silicon Valley
Some may not think that marketing, media and technology really mix. The fact of the matter is, marketing, media and technology go hand-in-hand. You need technology to create compelling marketing campaigns. The media is driven by technology.
Multiple summer media and marketing summits are scheduled, like Mobile Beat in Silicon Valley, where mobile technology and marketing will be topics of discussion. The use of bots for media purposes will be a focal point of the summit to improve brand interactions with consumers, and improving technology within mobile apps for a better overall customer experience.
