ISTELive 25 and the ASCD Annual Conference 25 will be held together in San Antonio this year, giving attendees twice the opportunity to connect with likeminded educators, explore how edtech can change teaching and learning, and invigorate their own teaching practices.

Featured speakers and highlighted voices include school district superintendents, professors, podcasters, executive directors, researchers, authors, and more.

Be sure to reserve time for the Creators Fiesta, a destination for creative discovery and hands-on making. Explore and experiment in the hands-on Fiesta Studio–part creator space, part art lab. Keep an eye out for daily activities with local artists who will lead drop-in workshops to get the creative juices flowing.

And don’t forget about the Innovation Arcade, where attendees can experience immersive learning in real time. This AI, VR, and AR exploration zone is where innovation meets education in a dynamic virtual learning environment.
