Disruptive Innovations: Looking Back to Lead Forward
In an era of constant change, innovation in education doesn’t always mean starting over. This year's tools will focus on project and people management during disruption. Educators and leaders will examine which foundational practices are worth reclaiming to strengthen teaching, leadership, and systems, and walk away with tools to guide success.
Guest speakers Urs Koenig and Jared Cooney Horvath, will challenge current norms and provide practical tools and strategies participants can apply immediately to move their work forward.
Who Should Attend? Smart Thinkers ready to energize their learning. This immersive two-day conference offers hands-on learning, dynamic team-building, and meaningful collaboration in a high-energy environment designed for adult learners—no long hours at tables, just momentum and connection.
