The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) is launching a series of "clinics" for K-12 chief technology officers that will run from May through September.

The CTO Clinics, part of CoSN's Professional Development for District Technology Leaders series, offer sessions and events designed for district technology leaders to learn about new technologies and best practices and to network with their peers. The events are being held in conjunction with state CoSN chapters in Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, California, and Georgia.

Specific dates include:

May 5 in Waltham, MA at the Conference Center at Bentley College, co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Educational Technology Administrators Association;
June 16 in Clermont, FL at Eastridge Middle School;
June 22-23 in Austin, TX at the University of Texas at Austin Commons Learning Center;
July 21 in Camarillo, CA at the Ventura County Office of Education Conference and Educational Services Center; and
Sept. 29 in Suwanee, GA at the Gwinnett County Instructional Support Center.

CoSN member organizations can receive one free registration for the events. Additional registrations run $99. Non-members pay $249.
