The 2026 theme, CONNECTED to Lead: Innovation and Impact, reflects the collective strength of visionaries and innovators in creating meaningful impact on education and education preparation. Join the nationwide conversation on educator preparation’s future, connect with more than 1,500 education leaders and partners, and return to your institution equipped with innovative practices and perspectives to help you achieve your goals.
