Become a Presenter

Share your knowledge, passion, and skills at our edtech-focused conferences

Share your Knowledge

You have hard-won experiences, valuable resources, and unique perspectives to share – and your peers are eager to learn from you.

Share your edtech discoveries in a breakout session or workshop on a topic you are passionate about.

Throughout the year, the LTC offers several opportunities for educators and technology professionals to share their knowledge, passion, and skills at our edtech-focused conferences.

Why Become a Presenter?

Speaking at an LTC-hosted conference is much more than a presentation. When you lead an engaging session on an edtech topic you’re passionate about, you take a leading role in:

      • Sparking critical thinking among peers
      • Inspiring fellow educators toward continuous growth
      • Initiating fresh conversations based on your unique perspectives and experiences
      • Being a change-maker in a statewide, purpose-driven community

Best of all: becoming a presenter is not a long-term commitment. You can always submit session proposals for events that match your interests and your schedule.
