Please join us as we work together to create a community where universities and faculty prepare new leaders with skills in hardware and software, as well as the ability to problem solve, plan, evaluate, make decisions and communicate, in their fields and to their communities large and small. We want communities where those serving in K-12 schools and colleges are abreast of the most important skills their students will need immediately upon graduation, with an ability to identify new information and tools as they arise, as well as to continue to learn as needed. We are looking for a community of leaders in industry, business, non-profit and think tanks who are fearlessly moving forward, knowing that they can share their needs with the community, for people able to lead, learn, and produce, as well as resources for investigating questions relevant to their and our successes.

2024 Theme:

Future of Work - Moving on from Disruption

Please share with us how are you using leading edge technologies in your work. Are you using AI in your manufacturing? How about in your marketing?  And your sales team?  Help educators see the kinds of skills you’d like your upcoming new hires to be ready to use. Want to know more about what’s happening in K-12 and higher ed?  There will be plenty to learn here! Let’s have some conversations about guiding the use of technology in the future and the ethics involved as well. 

Those involved in K-12 education who would like to learn more about the leading-edge technologies your students will see when they graduate. If you are integrating technology and STEAM/future-ready skills into your K-12 classroom, please consider sharing your expertise with us! Likewise, you’ll have a chance to hear from university professors about their approaches to leading edge technologies in their classrooms. Let’s have some conversations about guiding the use of technology in the future and the ethics involved as well.
