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 ...

Tips and Strategies for Remote Learning (March 2020)

For the past four weeks, starting two weeks before our Spring Break last week, teachers, administrators and staff at our school have been preparing for “remote school” for students as a result of the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis. On March 19, 2020, our Head of School sent out a letter to our parents including information about our remote learning plans and FAQs for parents . If your school is currently preparing for remote learning ( as all Oklahoma public school districts now appear to be , pending tomorrow’s state school board meeting vote) I encourage you to review these publicly shared documents and information. As our school’s “Technology Integration and Innovation Specialist” this year, I’ve been building an instructional site for our teachers to support remote learning, on support.casady.org , which is openly licensed CC-BY . This collaborative effort with many other teachers and members of our school staff has provided a good opportunity to curate as well as present instruc...
