Austin Ewachiw
Director of Technology at Calvert Hall College High School and Executive Director of the Blackbaud K–12 Advisory Board

We’re bringing together the brightest minds across K–12 education to collaborate, innovate, and reimagine how technology can elevate the student experience. Whether you're looking to streamline operations, boost enrollment, or deepen community engagement, this event will equip you with the tools, insights, and connections to make it happen.

Beyond the formal sessions, it’s the ‘unconference’ breakouts, where peers exchange stories, ideas, and support, that capture the spirit of this event. It’s more than a conference; it’s a space where educators feel seen, heard, and empowered to shape the future together.

Hiram Cuevas
Director of Information Systems, Academic Tech & Charles S. Luck III '51 Chair of Academic Technology
