ISTELive 22 will be held from midday Sunday, June 26-Wednesday, June 29, 2022. You can expect a variety of formats, a flexible schedule and hundreds of learning opportunities whether you’re attending in person or online. Recorded content will be available post-conference for six months.
ISTELive 22 will be a hybrid event, with the in-person conference being held in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and virtual content available from everywhere.
ISTELive 22 will offer varied content experiences, from hands-on interactive programming to listen-and-learn sessions to immersive demos in the expo hall, and some select in-person only content like playgrounds and posters. In-person attendees will also have access to all virtual content and streamed content through the ISTELive 22 virtual platform. All recorded content will be available post event.
ISTELive 22 will leverage the robust virtual platform built for the 2021 conference to allow for attendee networking, virtual content and access to content being streamed from the in-person conference. Select recorded content will be available post event (depending on your registration type).
Select hotels within ISTE’s official housing block will have shuttle service to the convention center. View the routes and schedules on the transportation page.

Having trouble logging in? Make sure you’re using the email address that you registered with to log in. Sometimes people have both a personal email address and a work email address separately in our system, but you’ll need to use the one that you’re registered with to gain access to ISTELive 22.

If you are experiencing tech issues, be sure you’re using the recommended settings below and then try again.
Recommended Browser: Chrome is recommended, Firefox and Edge are alternatives. On iOS devices, Safari can be used.
Recommended Systems: Windows 10, Windows 8 or 8.1, Windows 7, Mac OS X, macOS 10.9 or later, iOS 11 or later.
Connection speed: A minimum connection of 3 Mbps both upload and download is required to view streamed content. A 10 Mbps upload/download is recommended to be able to engage via video or microphone in sessions. Test your connection here.
For a more stable connection, an ethernet internet connection is always recommended. If you’re still experiencing a lag, ensure you’re off camera to help the connection speed or understand if you have other programs running in the background of your computer that could be using bandwidth. You can also hide presenters’ videostream within live sessions if you still encounter stability issues.
Video and Audio permissions: Each computer and each browser has different permissions for access to camera, speakers or microphones. The best way to ensure your computer and browser are prepared for interactivity is to test your audio and video here. You will be prompted to allow access to your camera and microphone.
Multiple Screens and Monitors: We highly recommend having an additional monitor to ensure you can both share your screen and see the chat when you are in your session. You cannot be in the session from two devices at the same time, so we highly recommend an external monitor.
Live English and Spanish closed captioning is offered for all Mainstage sessions, and live English captions are available for select sessions each day. All recordings will have English captions. Should you attend a session that does not offer captioning, we have several recommendations:
We recommend using Chrome universally for the ISTELive 22 platform and streaming platform on desktop or laptop, but Chrome has also launched captioning across its browser. Below are instructions for enabling Chrome captions.
You must be using Chrome version 84.0.4136.2 or higher.
If you are unable to use Chrome, we recommend using WebCaptioner in a separate browser window for captioning of live sessions.
If you’ve been in sessions successfully before and you’re now encountering audio or video issues try these solutions in this order:
If you are a presenter experiencing issues, log in to your presenter menu to access the training materials you can use to prepare for your session. You will also have a room moderator in your session to assist with any problems that come up.
