Dear Education Professional:

Asia Society’s Partnership for Global Learning is hosting its fifth annual dynamic national conference, Pathways to Global Competence, June 29-30, 2012, at the New York Marriott Hotel at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. This conference will provide the perfect opportunity for an organization such as yours to showcase your services. Become an exhibitor today.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider becoming an exhibitor:

• The Asia Society annual conference is the only conference that brings together pre-K-12 school educators, support providers, business and policy leaders to focus on developing global competencies in U.S. students.

• The conference will draw approximately 500 leaders from the educational community, including federal, state, local and university policymakers and administrators charged with developing resources and programs in K-16 schools nationwide.

• There will also be significant numbers of classroom teachers seeking practical guidance on the implementation of the Common Core and 21st century skills and a big picture understanding of why it is critical to do so.

• Attendees have a particular interest in resources related to international studies, technology, global perspectives, world languages, student and teacher travel.

• The conference is part of a multi-year, multi-sector effort to advance international studies in schools as a critical part of our nation’s response to globalization.

We believe the Partnership for Global Learning Annual Conference would be an ideal venue for an exhibit by your organization. Please read the attached documents for more information.

If you require any additional information, please contact Neelam Chowdhary, Executive Director of Global Programs at nchowdhary@ or by calling (212) 327-9265.

With best regards,
