The innovate conference highlights tools, strategies and ideas that help attendees think in new ways to improve and strengthen an existing program, practice or process to ensure student success. It’s an opportunity to access innovative ideas, reflect on new thinking and explore creative practices.
There will be three different points throughout the innovate 2026 session submission process when we will score proposals and send out acceptances or provide feedback on improvement. Potential facilitators who don’t receive an acceptance, can resubmit their proposal based on the feedback. The submission window will remain open until December 10 as long as there is space for sessions after the first two rounds.
We can’t wait to see your innovative ideas!
Questions? Contact Jonathon Lee at jlee@edplus.org or Erin Lawson at elawson@edplus.org.
