NCEEA Annual Conference


Join us in Seattle for the 2010 NCEEA Conference!

Our annual conference is an opportunity to come together as colleagues and discuss topics related to employment, recruitment, work-based learning, cooperative education, internships, field experience, volunteer opportunities, career development and other related workforce issues.

 

The conference will be held April 28-30, 2010 at Hotel Monaco in Seattle, WA.  Steps away from the Pike Place Market, the shopping and dining district, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Seattle waterfront, Hotel Monaco is the ideal location for an intimate conference in Seattle.

Hotel Rate: $145
