Deadline 9/29: Submit for ISTE 2018 in CHICAGO

Think big. Be bold. Submit for ISTE 2018.

Think back to that lightning-bolt moment that changed everything — that tech innovation you brought to your classroom, that scalable program you implemented, that successful edtech initiative you led. Wouldn’t it make an amazing ISTE 2018 conference session?

The ISTE 2018 call for proposals is now open. Get serious about that jolt of an idea you have and turn it into a bold conference proposal.

SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

Call for proposals ends September 29. Why not wow ‘em in Chicago?
