Shaping the Future of K–12 Learning Environments

Real Conversations. Real Solutions. Real Impact.

Edu-Tech Facilities Summit is a unique, invitation-only event designed exclusively for K-12 school district leaders responsible for planning, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining educational facilities. This summit goes beyond theory—offering real-world insights, first-hand experiences, and proven strategies directly from fellow district professionals.

Recognizing that every district has its own evolving goals and challenges, Edu-Tech Facilities delivers thought-provoking keynotes, collaborative panels, and interactive roundtables that spark ideas and inspire action. It’s not about one-size-fits-all solutions—it’s about fostering meaningful, authentic conversations that lead to practical, scalable results.

Focused on continuous improvement, this summit offers Chiefs and Directors of Facilities & Operations a chance to connect in an intimate setting where trust and collaboration take center stage. Discover innovative solutions, learn from peers, and explore what effective district-wide partnership truly looks like—so you can return home equipped to enhance your schools’ learning environments and operations.

The Summit Experience

Highlights

Roundtable Collaboration Meetings

Edu-Tech Facilities is designed to change the way school districts discover solutions. We provide the ability to learn about cutting-edge solutions with proven results used by other districts across the country. The relaxed atmosphere provides the opportunity to have open and candid conversations with senior executives to discuss industry trends and challenges. Prior to the meeting, attendees will make selections of the roundtable topics they choose to participate in based on their districts’ priorities and needs. The senior executives within the solution organizations moderate scheduled roundtables creating the opportunity for districts to share their challenges with those at the table and walk away with actionable information.

Exceptional Networking Opportunities

We strive to maximize your face-to-face time by providing a multitude of avenues that are engaging and informative. The agenda incorporates cocktail receptions, networking lunches and a specially selected offsite dinner at a nearby venue. Opportunities are endless with a wide variety of nearby activities to continue your networking and build strong personal relationships with current and future partners. We’ll provide a list of our recommendations for pre and post conference activities a few weeks prior to the Summit.
