The 2013 Summit takes place 5-8 May in Atlanta and officially begins Sunday evening, 5 May, with a general session and keynote speaker.

The Summit consists of two important parts. The first part is the over 80 education sessions, organized in seven tracks, which begin Monday morning, 6 May, and continue until mid-day on 8 May. All sessions will be 60 minutes long. The second important part is the Expo, with more than 50 companies represented; this will open on Sunday evening, 5 May, and run through 5:00 PM on Tuesday, 7 May.

Summit registration includes two receptions (Opening Reception and Communities Reception) plus morning and afternoon refreshment breaks in the exhibit hall. Also included in your registration is access to STC's SUMMIT@aClick. This unique feature is audio/graphic synchronized recordings of most all sessions. SUMMIT@aClick takes away the problem of only being able to attend one session per hour. You can listen and watch the other sessions on SUMMIT@aClick after you get home.

Additional education opportunities are also available on Saturday and Sunday, 4-5 May, in the form of preconference certificate sessions and preconference workshops/tutorials.

Networking opportunities include not only the receptions but the Honors Banquet and Closing Lunch. Both events require a separate ticket. In addition, most of STC's Special Interest Groups (SIGs) have networking events and meetings.
