10 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Miss the AERO Conference in New York
1. This may be the only time AERO conference is held in New York, because of the logistical difficulties involved in holding it here. Ordinarily, hotels in the NYC area would charge double or triple the prices we were able to negotiate with Long Island University.
2. You will be able to hear and meet Alfie Kohn, one of the most articulate and outspoken critics of high-stakes testing.
3. You will be able to network with alternative educators coming from 7 counties and 29 states and provinces!
4. You will be able to visit some of the most interesting alternative schools.
5. You will be be able to meet some of the top innovators in the unschooling and homeschool resource center movement.
6. You will be able to meet and attend workshops by Derry Hannam, one of the world's experts in public democratic schools from England, because of a one-time scheduling fluke!
7. You will be able to attend over 60 scheduled workshops, such as our workshop for school starters.
8. You will be able to attend and host unscheduled spontaneous workshops during every workshop time-slot - a unique AERO conference experience!
9. The impact it may have on you professionally and personally. Many past attendees have praised the conference as being life-changing!
10. The quality of our workshop presenters. Some workshop presenters would ordinarily be keynoter speakers elsewhere, such as Blake Boles, founder of Zero Tuition College, author of College without High School and his new book, Better than College.
For possibly the first time, attendees will get to see keynoters Dr. Elina Lampert-Shepel, an expert on Vygotsky, Dr. Peter Gray, who's new book on play was just published, and Nikhil Goyal, the 17-year-old student who wrote One Size Does Not Fit All.

Jerry Mintz attended the fourth annual conference of the New York Collective of Radical Educators, NYCORE, last Saturday. We heard there were 700 attendees for the one day event. We handed out flyers for the upcoming AERO conference and met many people who intend to attend.
