The value of a conference is in the wide range of opportunities provided. This event includes all of the following:

Expert Presenters and Speakers

Inspiring Keynotes

Get ready to hear from a lineup of powerhouse nationally-recognized speakers. Designed to ignite your spark as an educator and fill your cup as a human.

Standards-Aligned Sessions

Hands-On Workshops

Learn from the best educators, organizations, and leaders in arts integration and STEAM today. All sessions are designed to provide you with tools, strategies, and resources you can use right away.

Expand Your Creativity

Pop-Up Arts Experiences

From arts techniques classes (in all art forms – including visual art, media arts, music, theatre, and dance) to surprise arts performances and exciting creative explorations, you’ll leave this event inspired and ready for more.

Build Your Connections

Networking and Expo Areas

In addition to a dedicated exhibitor area where you can browse, chat, and collect FREE swag, you’ll also have access to dedicated networking events throughout the conference to help find local, state, and national partners.

How This is Different

This isn’t like other events out there. Here’s why…

NO Recycled Content.

All sessions are new and highlight what’s working in schools NOW – not strategies you’ve seen from 20 years ago. You’ll learn from current teachers seeing success and sharing their process.

Standards AND Engagement

Research shows that the best outcomes are achieved when learning is connected to standards while engaging students in relevant experiences. You’ll learn both at this event.

Creative Inspiration + Exploration

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Over 2 days, you’ll be surrounded with creative inspiration and leave confident that you can use these ideas yourself.
