While there are a lot of education conferences in Illinois, our event is the first one catered to the rural and small school perspective. If you are a rural educator, administrator, or CTE director, this event is designed for you!
For our first conference, our topic of focus is student career success. We will explore the changing technologies such as AI and innovations in agriculture; student career pathways and CTE programming in rural schools; and hear from students and teachers about what works in their own schools.
This event is best experienced in-person. Join us to network with and learn from other rural CTE directors and educators, meet our exhibitors and partners, and participate in a collaborative workshop with our keynote presenter Christian Jackson! You will also receive PD hours for the day thanks to our partnership with ROE #26.
We will have a virtual live stream for those who cannot attend in person, and virtual materials will be provided to all attendees post-conference. The live stream will only run for the morning presentations, and stop before lunch. The afternoon sessions are interactive and collaborative, so they can really only be experienced in person! You will still receive PD hours for the time you tune in.
You can register now and view the agenda on our conference website. If you are interested in sponsorship, please visit our sponsor page.

We can’t wait to see you there!
