UIL CAPITAL CONFERENCE
The University of Texas at Austin
July 11-12, 2008
Think of it as Coaching School for UIL Academics!
Held each summer at The University of Texas at Austin, the UIL Capital Conference offers everything a speech coach, academic coordinator (high school or elementary/junior high) or theatre director needs to know, from eligibility rules to analyzing a debate topic to creating a winning ready writing essay. Sessions are also available each year for high school and elementary/junior high academic coaches in selected events. Featuring some of the state's most outstanding and successful academic coaches and coordinators, as well as many of the League's state contest directors, the Capital Conference is the most economical and effective way to start your UIL competitive year.
The conference will also include a series of workshops designed specifically for Title 1 schools and schools that traditionally have been under-represented in UIL academic competitions.
