As an educator, you inspire greatness every day—in your students, in your network, in moments big and small. Now, it’s time to celebrate and reflect on the magic of ordinary interactions and discover what it means to inspire brilliance every day at the top conference for educators: the 2026 TCEA Convention & Exposition!

GSTA is returning to Macon, GA for the first time since 2014 for two days of professional learning, networking, collaboration, and recognition. While at the conference, teachers enjoy previewing and learning about new products and services to support their work in helping students learn science as they make sense of phenomena and design solutions to problems.

As the field navigates change and uncertainty, NAA26 offers more than professional development. It’s a space to recharge, reconnect, and reaffirm your purpose. Gain practical tools and strategies while building relationships that sustain your work.

NSTA brings together science and STEM educators for four days of meaningful learning, collaboration, and growth. Whether you’re sparking curiosity in the classroom, leading professional development, shaping curriculum, or driving innovation across your district, you’ll leave with practical strategies, fresh perspectives, and lasting connections to support your professional journey.

ISTELive 26 is where educators and edtech innovators come together to explore bold ideas, emerging technology, and practical strategies that transform teaching and learning. Join thousands of educators in Orlando for inspiration, hands-on learning, and connections that move education forward.

The 2026 AOPA conference brings pilots, aircraft owners, and aviation innovators together for high-energy learning, hands-on exhibits, and can’t-miss industry insights. It’s where general aviation connects, evolves, and takes flight.

Together with 1,000 CS educators from across the globe, you’ll enjoy more engaging connections and focused learning in a city known for its celebration, hospitality, and sense of community. Don’t miss your chance to connect with fellow CS educators, allies, and our CSTA partners while soaking in the energy of the Big Easy.
