Present at ISTE20

Submit a New Ideas proposal April 1 to 30

Have an inspiring edtech story or something new you want to share or teach? Can you present it in a short amount of time? Submit a multi-presentation proposal April 1 to 30. Multi-presentations bring together multiple speakers in the same place, to share short presentations on a variety of topics.

Here's what we’re looking for:

• Diverse stories and paths to success.
• Short presentations that engage or inspire.
• Sessions on timely edtech topics, ideas or approaches to teaching and learning.

Want to see a multi-presentation example? Look back at last year’s lineup.

Suggest a mainstage presenter

Know of a visionary you’d like to see at a future ISTE conference? We’re looking for mainstage presenters who inspire us, amaze us and ignite our passion for learning.

Our mainstage presenters are known as individuals from any field, including education, who can bring fresh perspectives to our audience in new and exciting ways.

Catch our attention by:

• Thinking outside the box. The ISTE Conference & Expo isn’t your typical education conference.
• Keeping it simple. Make your case briefly, concisely and with gusto.
• Sharing examples. Link to videos and articles about your suggested speaker.
• Offering diverse viewpoints. Tell us how your suggestion inspires, informs and broadens the perspective and practice of all educators.

Don’t be shy — if you’ve got a burning message to share, feel free to recommend yourself!
