2024 Florida Council for Exceptional Children’s Annual Conference

Let's LEVEL UP (Leverage Every Voice for Equity, Learning and Unwavering Partnerships)

The Florida Council for Exceptional Children (FCEC) is pleased to extend an invitation for proposal submissions to present at our Annual Conference. This year's conference will be held at the Hilton UF Conference Center Gainesville (1714 SW 34th St, Gainesville, FL 32607) on October 9th - 12th, 2024.  
 
The FCEC Conference will continue its tradition of collaboratively engaging with educators, professionals, researchers, and leaders in school districts, universities, various organizations, and the Florida Student CEC, to celebrate our mutual commitment to children and youth with disabilities.

The FCEC seeks presenters who, through their dedication to teaching and learning, will share their knowledge and skills about the best practices for working with students with exceptionalities. Each presenter or team of presenters will be provided with presentation time where they can share the core messages of their work and accomplishments, to encourage attendees to utilize the strategies and techniques in their own work as educators and professionals in schools and districts. Attendees, through these sessions, may have the opportunity to meet others who they can communicate and collaborate with about challenges or concerns.
