NOVEMber 2, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM | AT&T stadium

In an era defined by rapid AI innovation and evolving expectations, public school leaders face an unprecedented challenge: How do you lead with intention when technology can do more, faster, and at scale? We believe the answer isn't to out-tech the technology. It's to lead like humans, with clarity, trust, and judgment that no algorithm can replicate.

​

The Future of Schools Symposium offers a transformative experience for education leaders to come together and shape the next chapter of public schooling in Texas. This year, we'll explore how human intelligence, strategic thinking, relationship-building, and ethical decision-making, becomes the decisive factor in a world where AI is ubiquitous.

This event is free to attendees thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.

About us

The smarter technology becomes, the more demanding thoughtful leadership becomes. When AI can analyze data, synthesize information, and scale solutions instantly, competitive advantage shifts to where it's always belonged: to the humans who lead, decide, and care.  Join us to hear from thought leaders, learn from peer educators, and discover how we can build human intelligence as your real edge in an AI-disrupted world.
