Connecting Today, Shaping Tomorrow: The 2026 VSTE Conference
Educational technology continues to evolve, creating new opportunities for connection, collaboration, and innovation. As tools and strategies advance, educators are not just adapting, they are transforming teaching and learning. The connections we build today between people, ideas, and technology are shaping the future of education. Are you a classroom teacher designing engaging learning experiences with technology? Are you an ITRT, ITC, or Tech Coach supporting educators in transforming their practice? Are you a leader reimagining how technology impacts teaching and learning? Are your students creating, collaborating, and sharing in ways that inspire others? Are you building connections that drive innovation and growth? The 2026 VSTE Conference is your opportunity to share how you are connecting today to shape tomorrow. We invite you to showcase the strategies, ideas, and practices making a difference for your students, your school, and your community. The 2026 VSTE Presentations Committee is seeking proposals from educators of all roles and backgrounds. We are looking for sessions that engage, inspire, and empower learners and leaders as they integrate educational technology into daily practice. Whether you are a first time presenter or returning, your voice matters. All presenters will participate in person, and proposals are being accepted for the following session types: Live In Person Sessions, Virtual Synchronous Sessions, Hybrid Sessions, Flexible Seating Sessions, Innovation Station Sessions, Poster Sessions, and Workshops. |
