You will hear from educators, authors, and business leaders addressing how to work with today's and tomorrow's generations and how to apply next generation tools. You will learn about organizational structures that promote entrepreneurial delivery and processes and tools that can be implemented by college leaders and economic development professionals upon return to your worksite. Dr. Mark Milliron, President and CEO of Catalyze Learning International, will speak on the "New Generations of Learning." Invited speakers include Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; Mr. Cem (pronounced Gem) Erdem, President and CEO of Augusoft, Inc, the first software company to establish web-based lifelong learning systems for the educational community, and others! Conference tracks include presentations on Next Generation Leadership, Learning, Community and Networking, Planning and Tools, including emerging technologies, e-tools, and e-marketing.

A high point of last year's Conference was the networking with all Conference Presenters. You will again be able to meet all of the Conference presenters during a special session where you will have the opportunity to interact oneon- one with presenters, gather new tools, and network with colleagues from other colleges and economic development projects. Presenters will be prepared to share their presentations electronically and answer questions. This is your best chance to connect with conference presenters one-on-one.

While we know the entire Conference will be of interest to CEOs, VPs, EDPAC members, Deans and Faculty leaders within the System, we plan to have specific sessions dedicated to their needs and interests in economic and workforce development. All Community College Faculty are invited to attend at a special faculty rate of $150 for the entire conference! We hope you will encourage all of your colleagues to come and learn about tools and information that will help them in their classrooms and in their special projects.

And, if the Conference content, networking, and learning new tools aren't enough enticement, there's the beautiful Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa! Thanks to a dramatic $70 million transformation, this newly remodeled hotel offers a whole new take on coastal living with sleek, modern style. Enjoy sweeping Pacific views, a vibrant décor, and plush furnishings. World-class shopping, championship golf, and colorful attractions are all nearby. All for the unbelievable rate of $149.00 per night (plus state and local taxes)!

We look forward to sharing another exciting learning event with you in beautiful Newport Beach!
