The first Haas Technical Educators Conference was held over 25 years ago at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. The program has grown steadily since then. Last year’s Annual Conference, held at Dunwoody College of Technology in Minneapolis, hosted over 300 educators (photo above).
HTEC events provide an opportunity for educators training students in CNC technology to meet, collaborate, and learn from one other.
Every year the annual conference has grown and more educators have had the opportunity to network to bring back the best practices and innovations to their own programs.
The HTEC Council is an elected board which assists in making the conferences an enriching experience for all who attend.
