      Last month, thousands of educators from around the world gathered in Orlando, Fla., for ASCD's Annual Conference and Exhibit Show. Attendees explored the nearly 500 professional development sessions offered, visited the more than 300 exhibitors showcasing their products, and shared their experiences with colleagues.
      At the conference, ASCD launched its new PD In Focusprofessional development product. The association also debuted its new name and logo as part of its branding initiative.
      Each year, ASCD awards the Outstanding Young Educator Award at Annual Conference. This year, for the first time, ASCD presented the award in two different categories, educator and administrator. The winners were Bijal Damani, a business studies teacher from Gujarat, India, and Marc Cohen, a principal from Germantown, Md.
      During the conference, ASCD's Conference Daily news staff covered these events and more in a daily newspaper and online. Visit www.ascd.org/conferencedaily to see all the conference coverage, including news articles, blog entries, Twitter posts, photo slideshows, and video interviews.
