About the Annual Drexel University Assessment Conference
The conference draws over 420 attendees each year from nearly 28 states and multiple foreign countries. Attendees consist of college/university staff and faculty as well as sponsor representatives. The conference takes place on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September. Optional pre-conference workshops are available (at an extra cost) to those that would like a little more of a classroom experience on Wednesday morning. The program generally consists of 8 concurrent session blocks which feature one hour sessions, 90 minute workshops as well as blocks of 5 minute snapshot sessions grouped together. Two plenary speakers fill out the robust offerings along with a luncheon address. Food is provided in the form of continental breakfasts, break food, as well as lunch and a reception on the Thursday of the conference. Past receptions have been at Drexel University's Academy of Natural Sciences, The Independence Visitor Center and the Franklin Institute, the Betsy Ross House Courtyard. This year the reception is at our city's newest museum, the Museum of the American Revlolution.
