About The Program
Step into the future of education at the K-12 Innovation Forum, where academics, technologists, and the quietly revolutionary leaders of public education come together to redesign the system from the inside out. This year’s theme: “Remodeling Education: Innovators, Leaders, and the Technologies Reshaping Learning” sets the tone for a program that moves fast, thinks big, and refuses to treat “the way we’ve always done it” as a viable strategy.
You’ll be in a room with 60+ district decision-makers shaping the future of teaching, learning, and technology at scale.

Delegate Testimonials
The structure and use of time is commendable. Networking opportunities are appreciated. Helpful staff. Great accommodations.
I get a lot out of attending the RTM events with the networking, workshops, round tables, and business meetings. I feel this is a very relevant conference for the area I work in.
The combination of informative sessions, networking activities, and personalized meetings with vendors make RTM conferences so very beneficial to educational leaders.
This RTM conference has had the best networking experience out of any conference I have been to. Their attention to detail and personalized schedule has made it a pleasure to attend.
