The school year has just come to a close, but the excitement of summer brings us closer to ISTELive 2024. From June 23-26, a dynamic gathering of educators, administrators, edtech experts, and edtech companies will take place both online and in the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado.

For over forty years, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has cultivated a creative and engaged edtech community focused on connection, innovation, and advocating for technology in the classroom. Each year, the ISTELive Conference and Expo attracts over 16,000 educators and industry professionals, making it one of the most influential education events of the year. 

Against a backdrop of the beautiful mountain peaks towering over the skyline of the city, this year’s conference in Denver, Colorado is one you won’t want to miss. In addition, a myriad of opportunities to learn and connect with other professionals––alongside many ways to engage virtually––will make ISTELive 2024 a valuable opportunity for professional development.
