Are these virtual conferences or is this the big Blender conference?? I am good to go virtually, but currently reside in Italy, so travel is minimal here.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your continued support of the product - very cool software<br>

For the past 2 years Peter Kemp and I, Blender teachers, have been organizing education meetings at the Blender Conference. The goal is to discuss Blender education; challenges, concerns, materials, blender101 development, education programs or share best practices. It's an open discussion, anyone can join and bring in a subject as long as it is related to Blender and education.<br>

Subject: [Bf-education] education meeting at bconf<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
This Thursday is the start of the Blender Conference 2018. I've scheduled an education meeting on Friday to discuss Blender education in universities and pre-universities.<br>
<br>
With blender 2.8 coming there is lots to discuss. What challenges does blender 2.8 bring when teaching Blender to (young) students?<br>
<br>
I would like to hear from you. And perhaps we can discuss your concerns or feedback at the education meeting.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Monique<br>
