Memo Text

The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE) is excited to announce its annual Education Summit will be held at the Hot Springs Convention Center on July 8-10, 2024. This will be an in-person conference with no recorded or live-streamed sessions. The Summit still promises to offer something for everyone, including teachers, administrators, technology personnel, and student support staff. 

New this year, the conference will host an exhibit hall with 70+ educational vendors including vendor sessions for participants to learn about innovative practices in the field. Full exhibitor list can be found in the conference schedule. 

Pre-registration is now open! Registration cost is $50 per person, with a pre-registration deadline of June 19, 2024. There will be on-site registration available, and payments can be made by check or money order payable to the Arkansas Department of Education or by credit card.
 
Providing professional development credit will remain up to the district's discretion, as no certificates will be provided by the ADE. The Sched system, where participants register for individual sessions, offers the ability to print an individual’s schedule of sessions if needed.

For additional information on hotel accommodations and registration details, please visit: https://dese.ade.arkansas.gov/Offices/communications/ade-summit.

*Please check the ADE Summit website often, as it will be updated with details from now until the conference. The conference app, ADE SUMMIT, will need to be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play for new or returning conference participants.
