The Creative Educator Conference is the first of its kind. The small workshop environment is one of the most inclusive and supportive events I've ever been a part of. Each session was very practical and with lots of candid advice and strategies that were applicable for educators in any online space. The energy of the each speaker and attendee was so welcoming and generous. I left with lots of action steps and new friends. If you're looking for an event where you'll learn practical strategies for both novice and experienced online educators, where you can learn and share, and where you can make new connections that go beyond handshakes and small talk - save your spot for this ASAP.

Incredibly valuable education from our speakers
We will keep you fed, and when we break for dinner on our own I'll be sharing a list of great local restaurants. You can grab a group of friends to keep the conversation going OR if you're an introvert like some of us, you can order in and have a chance to rest and recharge!
Breakfast, Lunch, and allll the snacks!
...or you can grab an airbnb with friends, or stay at any of the other many hotels in Dallas! There's a list of recommendations below! The perk of staying at our recommended hotel is late night lobby chats and transportation to and from the conference venue! The hotel room block is first come, first served so grab your room asap!
