Flipped Learning Network’s seventh annual conference, FlipCon14, is scheduled for June 23 to 25 at Mars Area High School near Pittsburgh, PA. The event will also be livestreamed worldwide through the FlipCon14 Virtual Conference. This year’s agenda includes three plenary sessions, six featured speakers, 48 concurrent sessions, and learning lounges for help desks and small focus groups.

Keynote speakers will include Jon Bergmann, Aaron Sams and other coauthors of Flipped Learning: Gateway to Student Engagement.

Virtual attendees can view the plenary sessions and then choose among six featured speakers and 18 of the 42 concurrent sessions. Eligible sessions will be streamed live and archived for a year.

New for this year, the Boot Camp for Beginners will provides a primer on flipped classroom basics. The three-hour session will be interactive and based on the needs of attendees. An all-day pre-conference training session covering screen-capture software will be held on Monday, June 23.

Early bird and group registration rates are available.
