Summer Conference Update

Just a heads up on what we're doing! Our teams are split and currently attending two conferences simultaneously: the 2024 CTE Summer Conference in North Carolina (Twin City Quarter, 301 W 5th St, Winston-Salem) and the TIVA Summer Professional Development Conference in Texas (Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston St, Fort Worth).

At both events, we're meeting great people from the education sector, exchanging views and ideas, and learning from each other. We're connecting with directors, teachers, and CTE leaders to discuss programming education and independent assessment opportunities. We're showcasing our PCEP and PCAP certification programs, demonstrating our systems, books, and study resources, and engaging with current and potential partners. We're providing support on utilizing our resources and explaining the advantages of our certification exams and curriculums.

Visit our booths to learn more and collect some giveaways.

The next stage is Europe for the EuroScipy event that we're co-organizing this year, and then Chicago, IL. See you there as well!
