SYNC Conference in Helena
The final major gathering of this school year and a perfect moment to pause, connect, and recalibrate together.
If you’re involved in your school’s technology programs, SYNC is a rare chance to sit at the same table with fellow educators and industry experts to dig into what’s working, what isn’t, and how we can strengthen school systems moving forward. The conversations are practical, honest, and grounded in real-world challenges schools are facing right now.
This year’s conference also brings superintendents and special education administrators into the mix, creating space for meaningful collaboration across roles and responsibilities. The goal is simple: get everyone into sync around technology, leadership, and thoughtful school development.
Sessions will balance technology-focused topics with broader discussions on school leadership and organizational growth, making SYNC valuable whether you’re hands-on with systems, guiding teams, or shaping district-wide direction.
