Welcome to the home of the 1909 Conference (formerly the Mississippi Valley Technology Teacher Education Conference).
The 2024 1909 Conference will be held at the Crowne Plaza Downtown in Memphis, TN on November 14-15. Please consider presenting at this year’s conference by completing the Call for Proposals by September 20.
The conference registration cost is only $120 for members and guests and $40 for students—one of the lowest conference registration costs out there. Members and guests will need to make their own reservations for lodging at the Crowne Plaza. The rate for lodging is $139 plus tax for a single or a double room. Reservations may be made by calling 901-525-1800 and identifying yourself as a member of the 1909 Conference Group to get the conference rate. You can also use the Hotel Link. **If you enter the dates first, it will give you the conference rate.
Please consider nominating a fellow member for this year’s Outstanding Publication Award.
