We’re also extremely excited to once again feature a number of school presentations from both elementary schools sharing their learning around bringing passion and purpose to life in service of their learners, and secondary schools actively engaged in the AESN Transition Study (Dr. Catherine McGregor will speak more to this as well!). We’ll also, once again, be joined by a group of student ambassadors who will challenge us to think deeply about our practice and provide feedback on how we are doing so far.

We promise a very memorable, networked, inspiring event! Please register early as there are limited spaces and we fill the venue every year!
