Registration is free for this fully virtual Sept. 25 event, focused on "Overcoming Roadblocks to Innovation" in K-12 and higher education.

The conference agenda is now available for Tech Tactics in Education September 2025: Overcoming Roadblocks to Innovation. Brought to you by the producers of Campus Technology and THE Journal, the Sept. 25th virtual event will convene K-12 and higher education technology leaders to explore the most important IT issues facing schools today.

This year's event will offer hands-on learning and interactive discussions in three topic tracks:

Navigating the Evolving AI Landscape

  • Session 1 | From Heck Yes to Heck No: Supporting Students Through Thoughtful AI Policy Design
  • Session 2 | From Panic to Power: Closing the AI Readiness Gap in K-20 Institutions
  • Session 3 | Insufficiently Uncomfortable: AI-Native Students Meet a Glacial Higher Education Industry

  • Session 2 | Establishing a Student Security Operations Center

The Intesection of IT and Ed Tech

  • Session 1 | Collaboratively Designing High-Impact, Evidence-Based Ed Tech Tools to Meet Real K-12 Needs
  • Session 2 | Integrate or Bust: A Skeptical Administrator's Guide to Ed Tech that Works
  • Session 3 | Future-Proofing IT: How Districtwide Standards Build Resilience

The sessions will be led by distinguished speakers from institutions and organizations such as Digital Education Council, Digital Promise Global, Mountain View Los Altos High School District, Louisiana Tech University, Texas Wesleyan University, University of Virginia, and more. Attendees will not only gain access to hands-on learning, practical tips, and strategic discussions, but also benefit from opportunities to network and share ideas with speakers and peers, all within the interactive virtual event platform.

"The path to innovation is rarely smooth — especially in education, where complex challenges can stall progress," said Rhea Kelly, editor in chief of Campus Technology and THE Journal. "Tech Tactics in Education is about sharing ideas to break through those barriers. We're thrilled to bring educators and IT leaders together to confront obstacles, spark new insights, and gain the tools they need to move forward."
