You are invited to attend a free professional seminar for school administrators on the subject of creating more effective schedules by better automating the scheduling process. Others who participate in the scheduling process at your school or district are welcome to attend as well. The seminar will be held at 8 AM Wednesday, March 10 at the Albany Skyline - East Greenbush Holiday Inn Express^®. Breakfast will be provided before the seminar. The Holiday Inn Express is located at 8 Empire Drive, Rensselaer and their phone number is 518-286-1011. The seminar is being presented and sponsored by Automated Scheduling™, developer of premium academic scheduling algorithms and software.

This seminar will include

ü Best practices for collecting and organizing the data that goes into creating a schedule

ü How a process designed around a computer program with real solving ability removes the frustrations, conflicts, underutilized resources, and unnecessary unfulfilled class requests

ü Transitioning from more conventional approaches to scheduling

ü The latest techniques and technology for academic scheduling.

Schools spend a great deal of time and manual effort producing their class and student schedules each year, because they cannot trust their current software to do it properly all on its own. Learn how this barrier to further automation can be overcome, enabling administrators to work more efficiently, not only without sacrificing schedule quality, but actually improving it!

Please R.S.V.P. on-line by March 3. Call Richard Hamlin at 518-477-9633 or send e-mail to AlbanySeminar@autoscheduling.com if you have any questions.
