NTIA will convene a meeting of stakeholders from the education, technology, and government sectors to share ideas, discuss policies, and consider promising strategies for achieving the President's goal of connecting virtually all K-12 students in the United States to next-generation broadband. This Notice announces that the ConnectED Workshop will be held on October 7, 2013, from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time.

We regret to inform you that the NTIA ConnectED workshop scheduled for Oct. 7 is canceled. In light of the uncertainty surrounding a potential government shutdown, we are canceling the workshop early to give participants enough time to change travel or hotel reservations. We value your interest in the workshop and regret the need to cancel it. We will begin planning next steps as soon as we are advised it is appropriate.

Regards,

The Broadband Team
