Academic sessions and roundtable discussions were well attended.

Convention neophytes got their bearings at the Reception for New Members & First-Time Attendees.

Attendees visited the Expo Hall to check out the latest products, materials and services from more than 130 publishers and organizations...

 
...and learn how to use the materials with interactive demonstrations and personal attention.

At the Job MarketPlace, attendees set up interviews, spoke with recruiters, searched for jobs, and dropped off their résumés for companies to review.
 

At poster sessions, attendees were able to chat with presenters about their displays and their ideas.

The Electronic Village (EV), hosted by the CALL Interest Section, allowed attendees to learn about technology resources for their language classrooms, whether virtual or face-to-face. Check out the CALL-IS website for resources from the 2013 EV and Technology Showcase.
