Sponsorship+Opportunities

=**Dear Sponsors - Here is a basic rundown of what a TeachMeet is all about.**=

What is TeachMeet? TeachMeet is an unconference.Tech unconferences are fast moving, tech sharing, friend making, never boring gatherings of people sharing web2.0 tools for education. TeachMeets were started in the United Kingdom and brought to the US by Jason Bedell, @jasontbedell. TeachMeet Nashville, April 2010 was the first TeachMeet in the US. Jason has moved to Jersey and started [|TeachMeetNJ]. We are attempting to run the show without him this year. TeachMeets consist of 15-20 minute tech sessions. This means 3-4 sessions per hour which helps to keep the day moving. This year we will also have a few hour long sessions for those who need more detail and practice to help navigate the tech (relative tech beginners are encouraged to attend the hour sessions). So come and have a great 2 days with others who share your passion for learning, tech, and teaching.

TeachMeet Nashville has been **approved** by Davidson County Schools as credit for the district professional development requirements.This means the turnout from the Nashville area could be **very heavy**. We are also inviting districts from all over **TN, KY, and GA**. We are planning for at least 200 with upward of 400 possible.
