Missed CoSN2026 in Chicago or couldn’t make it to every must-see session? Now’s your chance to catch the highlights. This series features the most in-demand, standing-room-only sessions, selected by real attendee buzz and engagement. Join top EdTech leaders from across the country as they share the ideas, strategies, and insights everyone’s still talking about—all in a convenient, no-travel-required format.
K-12 leaders today are being asked to do more with less. They’re managing thousands of devices, juggling siloed requests, staying ahead of deferred maintenance, and working with stretched-thin teams across departments.
In this panel discussion, three IT leaders from across the country will share how they reimagined collaboration across departments, evaluated existing systems, and found new ways to improve operations. By consolidating technology, facilities, and asset management into a unified approach these districts managed both the human and technology side of change management.
Attendees will hear how they’re breaking down silos, regaining control over inventory and reporting, and creating space to serve students better. From automating compliance tasks to streamlining internal service requests, this session offers real-world insights, implementation stories, and lessons learned to help other districts breakdown silos and eliminate inefficiencies, save time and money, and build a more resilient, collaborative operational foundation.
