Mark Your Calendars: 70+ US K-12 Education Events to See in 2020

Welcome to a new year and a new decade. And if your next escapade involves seeing, doing and learning, there’s plenty for you in 2020 at the many K-12 education conferences that dot the country.

Whether you’re looking for pitches or professional development, networking or hobnobbing, or simply to hear about new ideas, there’s something for you in our calendar below. We’ve tallied nearly 80 K-12 events happening in 2020, from sunny San Diego to beautiful Boston.

We’ll be at some of the big annual acronym gatherings, like SXSW EDU in Austin, ASU GSV in San Diego and ISTE in Anaheim. (Come by and say hello!) And we’re running one of our own: Immersion, a workshop for edtech entrepreneurs on the day before ASU GSV, on Mar. 29.

The calendar below lists events happening in 2020. The PDF includes links to the event pages where you can find the most current information for each conference.

Think we missed something? Let us know. And wherever your travels take you, we hope you also give yourself breaks to relax, recharge and reflect.

To help you find which events may be right for you, here’s how the calendar is organized:

Red, orange, blue: What do these colors mean?

Anyone can attend any conference. However, we’ve color-coded these events based on their designated primary audience.

  • Red events focus on the business and industry side of the ecosystem; expect plenty of technologists, entrepreneurs and funders.
  • Orange events are tightly focused around a specific topic or audience, such as instructional technologists or principals.
  • Blue events are built around K-12 educators, with a focus on teaching, learning, pedagogy and best practices.

Your link took me to a conference that already happened or doesn’t exist yet. What gives?

Don’t worry—we confirmed with conference organizers the dates for future events that aren’t yet listed on their site. New details should be updated on their websites soon.

Also, some organizers run local and regional events that we didn’t have room to include. Make sure to check out their website for their full list of 2020 gatherings.

Aw, you left out my favorite event!

Sorry about that! Send us an email at feedback@edsurge.com about the details you’d like us to include.

Do you have a 2020 calendar for higher-ed events?

Yes—that’s coming soon! We’ll also have one for international education conferences as well.

Will you update this calendar in the future?

Yep!

Author discusses book on grad school

Graduate school is a great mystery to students, and to some faculty members, says Jessica McCrory Calarco, the author of A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum (Princeton University Press). Calarco is an associate professor of sociology at Indiana University. She believes many faculty members (as well as graduate students, of course) will benefit from her book. She responded to questions via email. Q: How did you get the idea to write this book? Why did the issue speak to you? A: This book started as a tweet . Or, rather, as a series of tweets about the hidden curriculum of higher ed. Ph.D. student Kristen K. Smith had tweeted about the need to better educate undergrads about grad school opportunities, and it made me think about how opportunities in academe are often hidden from grad students, as well. Reflecting on my own experiences in grad school, I thought about the many times I'd found myself embarrassed because of what I didn't know -- the

Guest Blog: Where Does the Bizarre Hysteria About “Critical Race Theory” Come From?—Follow the Money!

Blog:  Just Visiting Guest Blog: Where Does the Bizarre Hysteria About “Critical Race Theory” Come From?—Follow the Money! By Isaac Kamola Trinity College Hartford, CT There are now numerous well-documented examples of wealthy right-wing and libertarian donors using that wealth to transform higher education in their own image. Between 2005 and 2019, for example, the Charles Koch Foundation has spent over  $485 million  at more than 550 universities. As demonstrated by Douglas Beets and others, many of these grants include considerable  donor influence  over what gets taught, researched, and even who gets hired. It should therefore come as no surprise that conservative megadonor, Walter Hussman Jr.,  lobbied hard  to deny the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones a tenured professorship at the UNC journalism school that bears his name. Nor that her offer of tenure, awarded through the normal channels of faculty governance, was ultimately  revoked   by a far-
