Superintendents Summit, Isle of Palms 2026

As districts prepare for the 2026-27 school year, superintendents are being called to lead not only as organizational visionaries -- but as Chief People Officers. From recruiting and retaining top talent to navigating evaluations, budgets, morale, and the demands of testing season, today’s superintendent must balance strategy, empathy, and courageous leadership. The DALI Superintendents Summit at Wild Dunes Resort brings together K-12 district leaders for timely, peer-driven conversations focused on the people-centered work that moves districts forward. Set along South Carolina’s coast, this intimate summit provides space to step away from daily pressures, connect with fellow superintendents, and leave with practical strategies you can immediately apply within your district.
