For more than four decades, the ISTE conference has been recognized as one of the world’s most influential education events. It’s where educators and education leaders have gathered to engage in hands-on learning, share best practices and hear from the brightest minds from the world of education and beyond.
The annual event attracts over 16,000 attendees and industry representatives, including teachers, tech coordinators and directors, library media specialists, education leaders, tech providers and researchers from around the world. Attendees enjoy over two dozen featured voices on our mainstage, thousands of sessions in a variety of formats and a massive expo hall.
Due to the global pandemic, the ISTE conference went fully virtual in 2020, using a custom-built platform that allowed real-time collaboration with presenters and attendees, gamification features designed to deepen learning and engagement, and an archive of more than 1,000 learning experiences that attendees could return to again and again for six months. This year, ISTELive 21 will also be a virtual event delivered on the same dynamic platform, featuring powerful voices and offering a treasure trove of content and resources.
In addition to conference leadership, we wish to extend a special thanks to the ISTE Board of Directors and staff for their support and efforts to make ISTELive 21 a success.
