Why should you attend OBMEA Conclave? Hear from Previous Attendees!
"This is an essential conference for any teacher working in business, marketing, technology, or career-tech. I have been attending for more than 10 years, and I always learn new things! The pre-conference tours of various businesses is the most valuable part!"
"Excellent PD with cutting edge information from industry leaders, practical and engaging teaching & learning strategies from peers and networking with others from around the state with similar situations and needs. Well worth the investment for me and my students!"
"I always enjoy this conference every year. By this time of the year, I am always tired and worn out. This is a great way to get refreshed with lots of great knowledge that I can use for the remainder of the year."
"For the professional development of our CTE business and marketing teachers, this is the best bang for your buck you will find in Ohio. Networking, current content and teacher best practices are just some of the features and benefits of the Ohio Conclave."
"I always love to come to the conference to network with other business marketing teachers across the state and hearing their experiences and what they do in their classrooms!"
"Best PD of the year! PD for teachers - by teachers!"
"Conclave offers the opportunity for business & marketing teachers in Ohio to collaborate and network so we can continue the long-lasting tradition of having a close knit group of teachers across the state!"
