Overview

The Program

Three session tracks will give you a choice of sessions so you can learn about what's most important to you and your business. Keynote speakers will frame the big picture of our Vision K-20 and provide the details necessary to help your business align with those goals.

Business & Finance sessions will examine the different approaches companies can take to align themselves with Vision K-20 goals: acquisition, partnerships, leadership, and how it can affect your business development efforts.

Sales & Marketing sessions will focus on trends that influence customer movement toward our Vision K-20 and how those trends align with both their education goals and your business.

Technical & Development sessions will explore the roles of both developers and decision-makers as they transition to technology-rich classrooms aligned with Vision K-20 goals.
