Welcome to another exciting year at the Hot Springs Technology Institute! As the Director of HSTI, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to our conference, a unique event where educators and IT professionals from across Arkansas come together to innovate, collaborate, and rejuvenate. We remain steadfast in our commitment to being the conference built by educators, for educators.
This year, we are thrilled to host over 100 breakout sessions, each meticulously selected to provide you with the latest insights and practical strategies in educational technology. We understand that the end of the school year can leave many of us “just worn out”, and our goal is to offer you a space to refresh, recharge, and find inspiration for the upcoming year.
This year we are honored to have Michael Bonner as our keynote speaker. His passion for education and his dynamic approach to student engagement will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on all of us. In addition to our keynote, we have organized at least 10 breakout sessions dedicated to the ever-evolving field of AI in education. These sessions will explore the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence and provide you with the tools and knowledge to integrate these technologies effectively into your educational practices.
Our world is changing rapidly, and it's more important than ever for us to be prepared. At HSTI, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these changes and helping you navigate them with confidence and expertise. The future of education is bright, and together, we can shape it in a way that benefits every student.
I encourage you to take full advantage of the networking opportunities, engage actively in the sessions, and share your experiences and ideas with your peers. HSTI is not just a conference; it's a community of passionate professionals dedicated to making a difference in education.
Once again, welcome to HSTI 2024. Let's make this year's conference a remarkable journey of learning, growth, and rejuvenation.
With warm regards,
Bryce Walker … Director of HSTI
