2026 State Education Convention

Thank you for attending Wisconsin’s largest education event!

The theme for 2026 was: Collaborate. Innovate. Elevate. More than 3,000 public school leaders, educators, exhibitors and advocates gathered in Milwaukee Jan. 21-23 to collaborate with leaders throughout the state, innovate to advance public education and elevate student achievement across Wisconsin.

The event was co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards, the Wisconsin Association of School Business Officials and the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators. Thank you to all attendees and participants.

We look forward to seeing you at the Baird Center from Jan. 20-22, 2027, for #EdCon2027!
