The 19th Annual Conference on Information Technology Education will be hosted by Broward College and will take place at the Riverside Hotel. The conference is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group of Information Technology Education (SIGITE).
The conference runs from October 3 – 6, 2018 and will take place at the Riverside Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The theme of SIGTE 2018 is “Innovate, Educate, and Create.” The ability to inspire innovation and creativity comes from education. The conference theme seeks to showcase how educators from around the world use innovative techniques to prepare their graduates for the workplace. Information Technology in education needs a culture and SIGITE serves as its center. While the forts from Fort Lauderdale have disappeared, SIGITE 2018 will help spread new ideas into new frontiers. The aim of this conference is to link education to innovation and creativity.
