Written by Holly Fritz-Palao | Thu, Jan 24, 2019

With the 2019 winter trade show season in full swing, it’s time to get ready for another great year at the TCEA Convention and Exposition. Held from February 4–8, the convention will be in San Antonio, Texas this year—an exciting location change from past years in Austin.

This convention is the place for administrators, teachers, and tech specialists to network, collaborate, and discover new technologies to bring to their classrooms nationwide. With over 1,000 informative sessions and 450 companies exhibiting at the conference, TCEA offers a comprehensive look at the latest and greatest ideas and products in the EdTech industry.

With that in mind, here’s what you have to look forward to at TCEA 2019:

  2. Visiting one of San Antonio’s greatest historic gems and Texas’ most visited landmark, the Alamo.

  3. Collaborating with other educators in TCEA’s solution circles, a series of roundtable discussions, each focused on a particular topic.

  4. Exploring the shops, restaurants, bars, and theaters along the world-famous San Antonio River Walk, which is easily accessible from the convention center.

  5. Engaging with themed presentations during TCEA’s poster sessions, a series of casual, come-and-go presentations that offer a laid-back atmosphere to discuss topics at length with presenters and small groups.

  6. Watching the powerful closing keynote from Alison Levine, an established leader and educator who has served as team captain of the American Women’s Everest Expedition, scaled the Seven Summits, and taught part-time at West Point.

  7. Satisfying everyone’s food cravings at Pearl, a unique mixed-use space with shops and restaurants serving almost every cuisine you can imagine.
