2021 Virtual Summit

An Expanded Learning and Networking Experience

In just seven years, the Summit on Improvement in Education has grown from 400 attendees at the inaugural conference in 2014 to more than 2,000 registered attendees in 2020. While the Summit community continues to grow in size, it has also grown in thought and practice by developing into a diverse and vibrant learning community of educational professionals.

The 2021 Summit was a virtual event. While we took this direction due to the pandemic, we also saw it as an opportunity to offer expanded and innovative learning and networking opportunities.

Pre-conference courses were offered as standalone sessions on Sunday, April 25, and the live Summit—expanded this year with an extra day—ran Monday, April 26 through Wednesday, April 28.
