Would you like to join your world language teaching friends for FREE next year at #IWLA17 on October 13th & 14th at the Des Moines Marriott? Did you also attend #IWLA16 this past weekend? Then this post is for you!

In an effort to help spread the word about how truly amazing the Iowa World Language Association’s Fall Conference and its members are, we would like to invite you to write a few words about your experience at the #IWLA16 conference in order to encourage others to come in the future. A few ideas that may inspire your writing:

• your top 5 favorite things from the conference
• a collection of quotes
• a summary of a stellar presentation you saw
• observations as a 1st time attendee
• observations as a 30th time attendee
• an activity you plan to try out as a result of something you saw while there
• why you plan to go to future IWLA conferences as a result of this one

All submission must be received by Saturday, October 22nd in order to be entered in the drawing for ONE FREE REGISTRATION to #IWLA17! Submissions should be made to current President Jason Noble (thespanishnobility@gmail.com) and current Vice President Elizabeth Dentlinger (eldentlinger@gmail.com). There are two ways you can submit your piece:

• Bloggers - write your post on your own blog and then share the link with us. We will send it out on IWLA social media accounts.
• Non-Bloggers - write your piece in a Word doc, Google Doc, etc., and then send that to us. We will post it on iwla.net and then share it on IWLA social media accounts.

Best of luck to all who enter!
