Tech Academy

The fifth annual Parade Tech Academy will be held Friday, June 20th, immediately following the Tech Quiz. Once again, we have an exciting mix of our outstanding PCA Technical Committee and outside speakers. By attending more than one session, you become eligible for "Tech Academy Accredidation" of various levels, depending on the number of sessions you attend:

• Five Sessions equals a "Doctorate"
• Four Sessions earns a "Masters"
• Three Sessions takes a "Bachelors"
• Two Sessions starts you with an "Associate"
