ICTE HISTORY

Founded in 1983, the annual Conference alternates each year between a location in North America and one in Europe. Recent locations have been Fort Worth, Texas (1987); Edinburgh, Scotland at the University of Edinburgh (1988); Orlando, Florida (1989); Brussels, Belgium (1990); Toronto, Ontario (1991); Paris (1992); Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1993); London (1994); and Orlando, Florida (1995).

The Conference has grown from the early Conferences of two to three hundred attendees primarily from the southern and western United States, to a truly international meeting. In 1988, the first annual Conference outside the United States was held in the Spring, at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The strong success of the Edinburgh ICTE led to the establishment of the practice of alternating Conference sites between North America and Europe. The 13th Annual Conference in Orlando in March, 1995 was attended by 1,205 attendees from 47 nations.
