One Day. Big Ideas.
Real Connections.
Nine years ago a group of educators and business leaders in Central New York decided to get in the same room and figure things out together. That decision became the Collaborative Educators Summit, a single day that brings together teachers, administrators, industry partners, nonprofits, and students to build relationships that actually change things.
This year's theme is Adapting Together.
The world is shifting fast and no one can keep up alone. But a room full of people from different worlds willing to share what they know and ask for what they need? That's how adaptation works.
Expect real conversation, hands-on sessions, and connections you can't make through email. Wednesday evening social hour kicks things off. The full summit runs the next day. It's free, every year, every seat, thanks to sponsors who believe this work matters.
Come find out what happens when education stops talking to itself and starts building with the people around it.
The Agenda
Let’s build something meaningful together.
Take a look at the agenda to see what sessions, stories, and voices will shape the day.
SPECIAL EVENT @ THE SUMMIT
SPECIAL EVENT @ THE SUMMIT
At this summit, you don't Google the answer. You ask the room. We call it the Human Search Engine
Real people with real experience answering the questions no algorithm or AI chatbot can touch.
What's something you're wrestling with in your classroom? Your district? Your career?
Submit it ahead of time and we'll put it in front of the room. Your question might start a hallway conversation, an unexpected partnership, or a whole new way of looking at the problem.
Messy questions welcome. Those tend to be the best ones.
Ready to Join the Conversation?
This isn't a conference. It's one of the best rooms you'll be in all year.
Educators, industry leaders, nonprofits, and students all showing up to build something real together. Registration is free. Come collaborate this summer and join the conversation!
