Every EduCon session is a guided conversation — not a lecture. We facilitate dialogue on the most important questions in education today, from assessment and equity to student voice and system redesign.

• Participatory, inquiry-driven sessions

• Led by facilitators — not presenters

• Designed to challenge, question, and inspire
