Acer and Dell Join Top Companies Backing
Grants and Funding for School Technology Conference
San Diego, Calif., April 29-30
----------------------------------------------------

Hi, it's Nicole Hyde from eSchool News. I want to
let you know that premiere companies like Acer America Corp.
and Dell Computer Corp. are helping K-12 school leaders
find and secure the funds they need to buy technology for their
schools.

With eSchool News and its co-sponsor, Teacher
Universe, committed companies such as Acer, Dell, 3Com,
America Online, Innovative Communications Inc., and Sphere
Communications are presenting the "Grants and Funding for
School Technology" Conference April 29-30 in San Diego,
Calif.

The audience is an elite group of more than 600 school
tech fund seekers who have already raised an average of $3.6
million -- this year alone -- to build enriched classrooms,
a tech-savvy teaching force, and connected communities.

Key conference speakers include Terry Crane of the CEO Forum on
School Technology and Jostens Learning and Kate L. Moore, head
of the Schools and Libraries Division, the agency
administering the eRate.

Conference attendees will also be able to network with key
grantsgivers in government programs and corporate foundations:

*Mike Haney from the National Science Foundation and Cheryl
Garnette from the U.S. Department of Education will present
sessions on federal funding initiatives--and what their
departments will be looking for in grant applications--for
the coming school year.

*Marilyn Reznick of The AT&T Foundation, C.J. Van Pelt from
Cisco Systems Foundation, and Michele Cavataio from the AOL
Foundation will discuss the burgeoning arena of working with
corporate partners to fund school technology initiatives.

Attendees will learn how to research and write winning
grant proposals...build relationships with key funders...
create and manage a successful school foundation...and
build public/private strategic alliances.

Conference attendees will also hear from JDL Technologies'
Allen Schmieder, vice president for K-12WORLD programs, who
will be presenting a session on how to land major federal
technology funds.

There are a limited number of sponsorships still available.
