Wondering what you’ll gain at our fourth Annual Education Summit? While we believe the benefits are endless, I’ve narrowed down the list to share the top 10 reasons you should attend this enriching day. Before we begin, here’s a link to register and learn more.

  1. Connect and/or reconnect: Make connections with people who care as much as you do, from a number of different sectors and walks of life.

  3. Center student voices: Hear directly from Rochester youth as they take the stage to share their passions, ideas, and interests in the style of a TED Talk.

  4. Dig in: Find out more about topics impacting children and youth from cradle to career. Delve into topics in areas such as leveraging data systems, taking collective action, and education in and outside the classroom.

  5. Take a break: We encourage you to find time throughout the day to socialize, take a picture, win a prize, and find joy. (There will be multiple opportunities to do this throughout the summit. We understand that while the work can be long and tedious, there can also be moments of gratitude and delight.)
