Our Speakers
Take your drink and grab a seat for the hottest, freshest, breaking news of any education event you’ll attend this year!
Public officials – former and current Governors and other lawmakers – who didn’t have to run for anything this year – share their unfettered views on the election results, the pace of education change, and what they think other electeds want to see.
And a leading pollster who shall not-yet-be-named will break down all the results and lead an interactive discussion with a focus group – you! It’s a session you won’t want to miss and limited to registered attendees of the Power of Innovation Summit.
