Educational Sessions Draw Crowds Seeking Credits and Answers to Current Issues

For the first time at our Annual Convention, AGC held 32 educational tracks on 6 different subjects - construction law, executive management, green construction, marketing, financial management, risk management - offering continuing education credits for each session. Following current events, the hottest topics were green construction and executive management where many of the classes were filled to standing room only. Not surprisingly, many of the more popular financial management sessions were geared to the more technical financial subjects. On an average, the classes held between 50-75 students each.  In conjunction with Compusystems, AGC used barcode scanning to track attendance of individuals interested in earning continuing education credits. In total, 650 participants scanned for credits. Specifically, there was a lot of interest in ABA CLEs and NASBA CPEs. AGC is proud to have offered credits from the following credentialing bodies at our 90th Annual Convention:      International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET)      Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS)      American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems (AIA CES )      National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, (NASBA CPE)      American Bar Association, (ABA CLE) AGC would like to thank all the speakers who helped make our convention a success. We look forward to working with you in the future. If you’re interested in becoming a speaker at next year’s convention our 2010 Call For Presentations notice will be posted in the coming weeks!
