|
Kaylie Wiedmeyer Edtech Thought Leader |
Each year, Skyward hosts its can't miss PD event of the year on the sunny beaches of Florida. iCon brings hundreds of Skyward users together to learn, discuss, and collaborate. Through roundtable discussions, hands-on sessions, and team development exercises led by Skyward experts, iCon attendees leave with incredible insights and new skills to share with their district.
At Skyward, we understand the best part about iCon is what Skyward users can learn from each other. That's why districts have the chance to send a presenter to iCon — for free!
By applying to speak at iCon, presenters have the opportunity to inspire, share knowledge, and tell their district story, all while at the forefront of edtech innovation. This year, presenters will line up among keynote speaker Jeff Levy Ed.D., as he speaks about the power of school culture in shaping student success. Presenters alike can look forward to shaping the future of K-12 education by sharing bright ideas and connecting with passionate district leaders from across the country.
If your district has found new solutions that can help others through challenge and triumph, iCon is the place to share them.
