PlattForm Higher Education Announces Attendance at 84th Annual DETC Conference

Lenexa, KS, April 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- PlattForm Higher Education, a leading provider of marketing and communications services for colleges and universities, announced today that it will attend the 84th Annual DETC Conference.

Hosted by the The Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) on April 11-13, 2010, at the L'Auberge Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif., the conference is the largest national convention focused exclusively on distance education. The DETC has more than 100 member institutions that together enroll about 4 million students. The conference offers the opportunity to interact with the foremost experts in the distance education field and representatives from the most successful distance education institutions in the nation.

Based in Washington, D.C., the DETC is a voluntary, non-governmental, educational organization that operates a nationally recognized accrediting association, the DETC Accrediting Commission. With its 80-plus years of history, the DETC provides a highly refined and federally recognized accreditation program.

The Council was founded in 1926 to promote sound educational standards and ethical business practices within the correspondence field. The independent nine-member Accrediting Commission of the DETC was established in 1955; shortly thereafter it gained the approval of the U.S. Department of Education as the "nationally recognized accrediting agency" under terms of Public Law. The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) also recognizes the Accrediting Commission.

Executive VP of Sales and Marketing Lyle Kraft and Regional Vice President Vince Giambalvo will be representing PlattForm at the event. For more information about PlattForm Higher Education, visit PlattForm Higher Education online.
