New For 2026

Based on advisor and attendee feedback, we’ve elevated the EdExec Summit experience:

Location.

The Old Post Office, Chicago — a landmark Art Deco venue with character, history, and energy.  Forget stuffy, lifeless conference spaces - this is a venue with soul!

Timing.

We moved the event to September 10 & 11, 2026, to offer company executives an ideal time to get valuable insight into the education market in time for the Back-to-School buying season. 

Agenda.

No sit-and-get sessions. Every discussion is facilitated, interactive, and co-led by district leaders and industry experts—the people closest to the decisions.

This year's agenda will cover:

  • The Complex District Sales Cycle
  • ESSA Tiers & Efficacy
  • Privacy, Cybersecurity & AI Governance
  • Marketing to Burned-Out Educators
  • Moving from Pilot to Enterprise
