How to Make Your Case to Management for Attending the CEA Annual Convention & Expo
Educators, to help make your case to management for attending the 2015 CEA Annual Convention & Expo, follow these step-by-step instructions:
 Step 1. Review the CEA Convention schedule and identify which sessions you feel would most benefit you, your colleagues and your school’s bottom line. There are about 72 hours during this conference filled with opportunities to connect, learn and grow as an educator.
Step 2. Evaluate the networking opportunities to share best practices with educators nationwide (not your competition) and experts across the beauty and wellness industry. Consider the positive impact of meeting vendors who can give you the latest information about products, services and educational technology.
Step 3. Share the money saving opportunities. Register by June 26 and receive the $275 early bird subscriber rate ($250 each for groups of 3 or more). If money is tight, sending a few educators means that attendees could return to schools with the knowledge to give "teach backs" to everyone else who did not attend. Plus, sharing rooms and transportation means more savings.
