The CASE Conference 2027

The Council of Administrators of Special Education (CASE) is an international nonprofit professional organization serving approximately 6,000 members. CASE advances special education through leadership, professional learning, policy, and advocacy. Each year, CASE brings together the nation's most dedicated and influential special education leaders-district directors, state administrators, policy leaders, and decision-makers responsible for shaping services for students with disabilities across the country. The CASE Conference is more than a typical event, it is an international gathering of special education leaders who drive educational systems forward. The CASE Conference delivers an unparalleled professional learning experience designed for approximately 1,500 special education leaders. This premier event blends national thought leadership, timely legal and policy updates, research-to-practice sessions, and practical implementation strategies that attendees can immediately bring back to their districts. Beyond the learning, the conference fosters meaningful networking, collaboration, and peer-to-peer problem solving---creating a powerful space where leaders connect, reflect, and strengthen their impact on students, staff, and systems worldwide.
