  • Educational Technology and Education Conferences for December 2018 to June 2019, Edition #40
    Educational Technology and Education Conferences for December 2018 to June 2019, Edition #40 Prepared by Clayton R. Wright, crwr77 at gmail.com, November 10, 2018 The 40th edition of the conference list covers selected professional development opportunities that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2019 are most complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held later in the year. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next. An explanation for the content and format of the list can be found at http://newsletter.alt.ac.uk/2011/08/why- distribute-documents-in-ms-word-or-openoffice-for-an-international-audience/. A Word or an OpenOffice format is used to enable people with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference abstracts or proceedings. Consider using the “Find” tool under Microsoft Word’s “Edit” tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country “Australia” or place, such as “Hong Kong” in the “Find” tool, all conferences that occur in Australia or Hong Kong will be highlighted.

  • New Arena Feasibility Study
    NEW ARENA FEASIBILITY STUDY City of Rapid City, South Dakota February 2018 February 23, 2018 Mayor Steve Allender City of Rapid City 300 Sixth Street Rapid City, South Dakota 57701 Dear Mayor Allender: Stone Planning LLC has completed its feasibility analysis of a potential new arena at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. The attached report presents the results of our research, analysis, findings, and conclusions and recommendations, and is intended to assist the City in evaluating the viability of the facility. The analyses presented in this report are based on estimates, assumptions, and other information developed from industry research, data provided by the City, the RPCC, and others, interviews with local and industry stakeholders, and analysis of other facilities and markets. The sources of information and the basis of assumptions, estimates, and forecasts are stated in this report. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, actual results achieved will vary from those described and the variations may be material. The findings presented are based on analysis of present and near-term conditions in the Rapid City area, as well as existing interest levels by potential users for a new arena at the RPCC. Any significant changes in the characteristics of the local community, such as change in population, corporate inventory, and/or competitive facilities, could materially impact conclusions and recommendations developed in this study. As in all studies of this type, the estimated results are based on competent and efficient management of the potential facility and assume that no significant changes in the event markets or assumed immediate and local area market conditions will occur beyond those set forth in this report.
