Event Information
ISTE helps educators worldwide use technology as a catalyst for innovative solutions to education’s greatest challenges. We invite proposals from educators at all career stages, backgrounds, and locations. We especially encourage student participation in presentations!
We also welcome submissions from solution providers that focus on the broader impact of technology on education (rather than specific product promotion). While we do offer opportunities for product demonstrations and commercial content at the event, we encourage program proposals that align with our mission of transforming education. We may contact submitters to offer alternative presentation opportunities if their content is better suited for other event components.
The Call for Participation for ISTELive 26 is now closed.
Submitters and presenters will be notified in mid-December of session status.
Sign up for updates of future opportunities.
