Check out our AGENDA to see our dynamic speakers and engaging sessions that share best practices, proven strategies, and implementation plans that you, as a leader, can install at home and increase student impact.

This 3-in-1 event models ways we uplift student voice, leadership, and impact through our Student Showcase 2024 and The Griots of Oakland Experience & Book Launch.

We understand the POWER of coming as a TEAM. Schools are more effective when everyone works towards the same goals, but we rarely get team time to build and plan together. These opportunities create leaders who share and implement potent practices.

Take advantage and attend as a team. We offer a 20% discount to support and encourage team-building so you are more effective at home. For every four paid registrations, you get a fifth one complimentary. You can also register and bring any K-12 students for free.

Don't forget, book your hotel too.
