2007 Summer Meeting—Greensboro, NC
July 28-August 1, 2007
Joseph S. Koury Center & University of North Carolina (UNCG)
Commercial Workshop Information
In an effort to provide a "hands-on" forum for exhibiting companies, AAPT schedules workshops designed to give exhibitors a unique selling tool to enhance the presentation/sale of products and services. To increase the resources available to our members, we invite companies producing materials useful to science educators to present workshops at the Association’s two annual National Meetings. These Commercial Workshops are scheduled on Monday and Tuesday of the meeting. This is an opportunity to direct sales to those people most interested in your company’s products and services. Deadline May 3, 2007.
Application
The form should contain:
(1) workshop title & abstract (200-word limit)
(2) name of workshop leader(s)
(3) preferred day & time for presentation
(4) maximum number of attendees desired
(5) room set-up preference (theater or classroom style)
The abstract should contain activities to take place during the workshop, materials to be featured at the workshop, and how attendance at the workshop will benefit physics teachers. Submit abstracts online at http://www.aapt.org/events/cwkshpform.cfm.
