PETE&C DREAM AWARDS

The Pennsylvania Educational Technology Expo and Conference (PETE&C) is a statewide event that provides quality programs focused on technology in the educational field. Each year, hundreds of exhibitors highlight their latest technology products and services to the vast audience of teachers, administrators, technology directors, school board members, and more. Each day features a keynote speaker that will both educate and inspire you. Throughout the three days, you can attend concurrent, sponsor, and poster sessions.
