Affinity Groups at ISTELive 23

Take some time during the conference to connect with other attendees from your community. In its pilot year, ISTELive 23 will feature five affinity groups to allow folks to share lived experiences in the education space. Network and build long-term relationships, while sharing your unique perspectives. These sessions will move with the needs of the group, providing an organic space to share and learn from each other.

Plus, look for opportunities to propose or participate in additional affinity spaces at future ISTE events. Thank you to the group leaders who helped us pilot the program this year!
