Get E-rate Great: Chesterfield 2018

Event Details

To get the most benefit from the training, we strongly encourage attendees to register for both days since the training covers sequential topics over two days. Specify Qty of 1 ticket per person for both days.

The training is intended for school division staff that are responsible for E–rate. Even if you have a consultant do your application, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the program and network with your colleagues about E–rate. The training is also for service providers that assist schools with Category 1 or Category 2 service or equipment and want to learn more about or keep current with the E-rate program. Participants could include Chief Technology Officers, Technology Directors/Coordinators, network staff, Chief Financial Officers, school administrative support staff, and service provider staff. There is not a limit on how many staff can attend the training from each school division or service provider entity. Spaces will be provided for 100 participants.
