Event Preview | ISTELive 26 — Orlando
Every summer, ISTELive brings the global education technology community together. The 2026 edition in Orlando arrives bigger, broader, and more consequential than it has been in years.
This year, ISTELive and the ASCD Annual Conference unite under one registration — two powerhouse events for educators across every role and discipline, all in one place. That combination matters. ISTE brings the edtech and instructional design lens. ASCD brings the curriculum, leadership, and whole-child education depth. Together, they create a room where the technology conversation and the pedagogy conversation finally happen at the same time, with the same people.
18,000+ educators — teachers, administrators, tech coordinators — converging at the Orange County Convention Center from June 28 to July 1. The sessions we’re most focused on sit at the intersection of AI-ready classroom strategies, digital citizenship, and what it actually takes to integrate technology in ways that shift learning outcomes — not just the tools in the room.
The “Portrait of an AI-Ready Graduate” pavilion alone is worth the trip. That framing — what does an AI-ready learner actually look like — is a question we think about every time we build content and learning experiences for our clients.
We’ll bring the real takeaways back here.
Stay tuned.
