Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) is an umbrella term, widely used outside the U.S. and by the U.N., to encompass all rapidly converging computer, software, networking, telecommunications, Internet, programming and information systems technologies.

The National Center for ICT is the driving force behind a national ICT Community of Practice including educational institutions and industry representatives to create and distribute current and emerging ICT content and curriculum through conferences and new media technologies.

The Mid-Pacific ICT (MPICT) Center mission is to coordinate, improve and promote the quality of ICT education, with an emphasis on 2-year colleges, in northern California, northern Nevada, southern Oregon, Hawaii and the Pacific Territories.

For the third year in a row, these National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education funded Centers are excited to be joining forces to create a Winter ICT Educator Conference, January 6-7, 2011, in San Francisco. The event will feature presentations from industry sources of ICT educational resources and technical presentations from the ICT and MPICT educator communities.

Thursday and Friday, January 6-7, 2011 at the City College of San Francisco Downtown Campus, on the corner of 4th and Mission Streets, near the Powell Street BART/MUNI stations, in downtown San Francisco. We will start around 8:30 in the morning and finish around 7pm on Thursday and probably around 3pm on Friday.
