64th Annual CITE Conference

Attendee Registration Opening Soon

The highly anticipated 2024 CITE Conference in San Diego is already gearing up to be one for the books! It's our biggest event of the year and you do not want to miss out on being a part of it! Stay tuned for attendee registration which will be opening very soon!

Registration is going to look a little different this year versus last year. There will now be an additional registration type called Educational Plus, that will include a year of CITE membership at a discounted rate of $60. If you decide you do not want a year of CITE membership with your conference registration, you will register for the Educational attendee ticket.

Call for Sessions is Now Open

The annual Call for Sessions for the 2024 CITE Conference in San Diego is now open! Last year we heard from over 200 presenters and can't wait to see what this year has is store. If you're not sure if you are "good enough" to submit a session? That's not true! Our community loves learning from each other, even through mistakes.

Also, we have made major changes to what types of sessions we will be offering this year. We encourage you to try out some of these new session types and get familiar with the updates before you submit your session.

All sessions need to be submitted by March 31, 2024 for consideration.

CTOM Cohort 18 Kickoff

The 2024 CTO Mentor Program kicked off in Ontario on February 2! This year marks the 18th year of the program and continues to provide current and future CTOs with the leadership skills, educational context, and technology strategy they need to help their districts succeed. This year, the program supports fifteen stellar candidates, each of whom has been assigned a hand-picked mentor to advise them throughout the program. We're excited that three of our candidates have recently graduated from our TMAP program which is geared for managers and aspiring leaders. Candidates, mentors, and board members spent the day getting to know one another and preparing for the year ahead. Candidates worked together to devise a name and we are proud to present Cohort 18: No Limits!
