The 2021 Summit will be a virtual event. While we are taking this direction due to the pandemic, we also see it as an opportunity to offer expanded and innovative learning and networking opportunities.

To start, the 2021 Summit will span two weeks. The first week (Summit On-Demand Week) will run April 19–23 and be focused on pre-recorded sessions and posters that participants can view on demand. Summit Pre-Conference Courses will be offered as standalone sessions on Sunday, April 25, and Summit Live—expanded this year with an extra day—will run Monday, April 26 through Wednesday, April 28. See the Agenda page for more details.

The standard rate for the Summit general conference is $595. Special rates are available for groups ($495) and full-time teachers and students ($395). Registration for a pre-conference course is an additional $395.  See the Registration page for more details.

The Summit general conference registration fee includes access to Summit On-Demand Week, Summit Live, and the Summit Digital Library. Summit On-Demand Week will take place the week of April 19 and will focus on the pre-recorded sessions and posters. Summit Live will take place Monday, April 26 through Wednesday, April 28 and includes all keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking activities. Recordings of all Summit content will be available in the Summit Digital Library following the April event. Registered attendees will have access to the library until the end of 2021.

New for 2021: Registration for the Summit general conference is not required to register for a pre-conference course.

Pre-conference registration provides you with access to one of the nine pre-conference courses on Sunday, April 25 from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M. PST. Since all pre-conference courses run concurrently, you may only register for one. Pre-Conference courses will not be recorded and so will not be available in the Summit Digital Library.

The Summit Web Platform will be the main vehicle for the 2021 Summit program.  We will use Zoom for all live sessions and networking activities.

Recordings of all live sessions will be added to the Summit Digital Library for on-demand viewing by registered attendees until the end of the year.

Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting proposals; the deadline to submit proposals for the 2021 Summit was August 21, 2020. Join the Carnegie mailing list to be notified when we begin accepting proposals for the 2022 Summit.

Unfortunately, we do not have volunteer opportunities at this time.

Additional individuals cannot be added to an existing registration. To take advantage of the group discount, you must register your entire group of at least five attendees during the same registration session. If you are not sure whether you will be part of a larger group, please wait to register until you have confirmed with your group members.

Yes! If you are no longer able to attend the 2021 Summit, you may transfer your registration to someone else.  These substitutions can be made until 11:59pm PST on April 18, 2021 without an additional processing fee. The original registered attendee will need to modify their registration and complete the transfer registration request. For assistance, email SummitReg@carnegiefoundation.org.
