Heading into its third year, Tech & Learning’s EdExec Summit is becoming an annual rite of passage for education leaders looking to deepen their expertise in, and renew their passion for, society’s most important work: education.
More than 200 leaders will convene in August at the Chateau Elan Winery & Resort, just north of Atlanta, GA, to address the most pressing issues of the day, from the impact of policy and funding changes to the imperative of leveraging AI responsibly. Industry leaders will be working alongside one another and their counterparts from school districts – 25% of attendees, speakers, and facilitators hail from school districts around the country.
The conference not only honors the importance of having educators in the room, it takes a cue from how they have transformed the standard classroom. Education leaders have empowered teachers to reduce their dependence on traditional sit-and-get, rote instruction, creating experiences that drive deeper engagement for all learners. Inspired by this shift, the conference organizers are limiting a reliance on traditional speaker sessions and introducing more opportunities for leaders to work alongside their peers through facilitated sessions, workshops, and breakouts.

An important part of the experience is the role of organizations supporting the event, the kind that bring unmatched experience and a wealth of knowledge to the table. A diverse set of global and domestic operators have rallied around Tech & Learning’s EdExec Summit, including Authentica Solutions, which is increasingly at the center of K-12 interoperability, and Compro Technologies, which supports education providers around the world.
Additional support from education’s leading investment banking and advisory firm, Cherry Tree & Associates, signifies the ongoing role that M&A continues to play in this space. Additional supporters such as Product & Process, OpenField, and Hawke Media, round out the sponsor community by adding much-needed insight on the product experience in schools. Event partners do more than help underwrite the event, they signal to the market that convening in the right way, with the right priorities, is integral to shoring up the long-term prospects of providers across the industry.
Making Authentic Connections
In today’s education economy, industry leaders are operating with headwinds that are as strong as they’ve ever been, from fitful policy management at the federal level to stressful conditions at the local level. That’s why it’s as important as it’s ever been for leaders to come together in a forum that fosters real meaning, renewed energy, and an affirmation that providers can do well by doing good.
