Global Conference on education, Los Angeles



The pond next to the conference facility at the University of Riverside in southern California










It is dangerous to write about conferences that I did not attend myself, as one can easily promote a conference which is a scam (yes I read about some terrible experiences) or which is not worth the trouble. And trouble it is to get all the forms done, funding arranged and then spending hours on the internet for accommodation and transport and flight arrangements if you are pressed for time. If I do have time to do searches, I love to get lost in the internet however. 

The conference facility of the university of Riverside is situated next to a beautiful pond with awesome wildlife such as tortoises and lots of water birds. Riverside is about two hours’ drive from Los Angeles. The university host international conferences on a regular basis in management, nursing and education. We attended an education conference as an add on to a weekend in Los Angeles and another conference in Seattle. It was a small conference with less than 50 people presenting and attending, which means that there were no concurrent sessions and all get to participate and interact with each other in one conference venue. 

The Global conference on education is less than a month away but for those who will be in the vicinity, there is still time to attend and present at this conference. It will be held on 27 and 28 September. The registration fee for presenters is $500 and for attendees $350. 

And for those of you who are not planning to go to California soon, please remember the upcoming HELTASA conference in Port Elizabeth in November and planning ahead, remember the ICDE in November 2019 in Dublin. Both of these conferences are really worth the effort.
