The Board extends its gratitude to The Microsoft Corporation for helping make this year’s conference a reality.  For the 2010 conference, the Board decided to focus on bullying in the Age of the Internet, such as cyberbullying, cyberthreats, sexting, online aggression, and youth risk.  We believe this will be the first major international conference to focus on these issues.

However, the 2010 conference will not be exclusively about cyberbullying.  The IBPA will once again present a variety of exciting and creative presenters who will present cutting-edge research and research-based practices on traditional bullying as well.

Please visit our website in mid-April for information on registration, nearby lodging, Seattle attractions, and transportation.  We anticipate releasing our roster of speakers in May.  We will be accepting proposals for workshops over the next few weeks.

Please let us know if you have any questions.  And please tell your friends and colleagues about our upcoming conference and please SAVE THE DATE!
