About this conference

Shifting from Spring CUE to SPRING FORWARD, this event is an evolution reflecting where education is headed. Formerly focused on technology, Forward now gathers educators around impact, uniting the entire education community: classroom teachers, instructional coaches, IT leaders, and district administrators. The conference aims to tackle systemic challenges and change how schools make decisions, solve problems, and build cultures where every student can thrive. It is designed to equip, energize, and connect educators by focusing on thoughtful, learner-centered, and evidence-informed uses of technology that positively impact teaching and learning in real-world practice.
