The Must-Attend Event for EdTech Leaders
The purpose of CoSN’s Annual Conference is to advance the knowledge and skills of K-12 school leaders. We delve into crucial topics such as cybersecurity, student data privacy, and the implementation of generative AI in schools — issues at the forefront for educational institutions and their communities. CoSN provides an unparalleled platform for districts to deepen their understanding of these critical issues and explore effective strategies for addressing them safely and successfully within the K-12 system.
Our focus is on delivering a diverse mix of keynote speakers, interactive sessions, learning and networking opportunities, and more that equip school leaders with the insights and tools necessary to safeguard K-12 technology.
(Registrants are able to earn CoSN CEA credits for CETL® re-certification.)
