Back by popular demand, Tech & Learning is hosting its third EdExec Summit on August 18-20, 2025, at the beautiful Chateau Elan Winery & Resort outside Atlanta, GA.
In an era of rapid technological change, shifting policies, and unpredictable global events, uncertainty is no longer an occasional disruption—it’s the new normal. Tech & Learning recognizes it’s more important than ever for our industry to work as a community to achieve success.
To help you and your company navigate this new uncharted terrain, the Tech & Learning EdExec Summit will bring together senior executives serving the K-12 industry for a three-day networking conference dedicated to the business of education. Last year, 80% of the attendees rated the event as “excellent,” and described it as “one of the best conferences I have ever attended.”
