We like to think that we're pretty creative here at the DEN. From National Leadership Conferences to Regional Institutes, to the DEN Virtual Conference to our Streamathons, we're constantly trying to find new ways to push the envelope and keep offering you fantastic PD.

What I'd like to know is whether you have any ideas for other ways we could mix things up? Do you have a 'crazy' idea for a conference, pre-con day, or institute that you'd like to see the DEN try? Or perhaps you think we have some room for improvement and have some ideas how we could do so.

If so, let us know here. We'd love to hear what you think.

The Smithsonian offers both

The Smithsonian offers both education programs for educators as well as special events in the museums in the evening after they close. Maybe for something prior to NECC here in DC we could have an educators day at the NEW Air and Space Museum Udvar/Hazy and then hop on the bus to the Air and Space museum or New Natural History Museum or the New American History Museum to have dinner and then a movie in one of the IMAX theaters.

I love the Smithsonian

I love the Smithsonian idea. I would also love to see partnerships or exchanges with places such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado.
