 nThis year’s conference theme, Discovering Your Digital Destination,
  is another example of NYSCATE’s ongoing commitment to lead the stat
 ewide transformation of teaching and learning through the efficacy of 
 technology.\n\nLocated in scenic Rye Brook, NY, convenient to Long Isl
 and, New York City, and Lower Hudson Valley school districts, the Metr
 o Conference is most conducive for creating a unique retreat like envi
 ronment where you and your district team are able to literally settle 
 in, relax, and focus on all of the outstanding professional developmen
 t, networking, information gathering, and sharing opportunities this e
 xceptional conference has to offer.\n\nIn response to challenging econ
 omic times, our outstanding committee has worked tirelessly to deliver
  a quality and value conscious conference experience reflective of the

 p selection of over 70 exemplary educator led presentations in additio
