Our events bring education leaders from a wide range of role groups together within and across states to network, collaborate and learn from each other.
Our annual, marquee event features three spectacular days of dynamic sessions, speakers and networking that state policymakers count on each year.
This is an invitation-only event for our Commissioners to network, learn and conduct organizational business.
In collaboration with our esteemed Partners, we host this live virtual webinar series for policymakers to learn alongside experts on education policy issues.
Education Commission of the States is committed to providing resources, support and opportunities to our special ancillary networks annually. Each is by invitation. To ensure your state is connected please contact a member of our state relations team.
