The K12 Technology Summit



The K12 Technology Summit is a private, invitation-only event created specifically for senior-level administrators who are responsible for overseeing the information technology strategy of the nation's leading school districts. This summit was developed with the goal of enabling K12 CIOs to share best practices for supporting the academic mission and meeting the increasing demand on their IT organizations.

Participants

Strong emphasis is placed on maintaining the optimum infrastructure for both the education and business development platforms at our summits. Therefore participants at the K12 Technology Summit are accepted based on strict qualification criteria, ensuring relevancy and suitability.
