Mid Hudson Tech Fest 2026: Leading Learning Through Change is a free, one-day regional event designed for educational leaders navigating an evolving digital and instructional landscape. Bringing together leaders from across the four-county Mid-Hudson region, this event focuses on how districts can strategically respond to emerging technologies while keeping students, equity, and safety at the center of decision-making.

The Educator Edge CoSN/AESA AI Summit is a TWO-DAY, in-person leadership experience designed to support district leadership teams, led by cabinet-level leaders, as they move from AI exploration to intentional, mission-aligned district implementation.

This interactive summit brings together key district decision-makers to collaboratively examine how generative AI can support teaching, learning, operations, and systems-level work, while thoughtfully addressing readiness, risk, and alignment with district values and long-term goals.

The summit experience includes a virtual pre-session to support readiness and alignment, followed by two in-person days focused on collaborative planning and implementation. Participants will leave with a shared understanding of their district's current AI landscape and a head start on a prioritized 6-12-month action plan grounded in strategy, governance, and instructional coherence.

Deeper Learning. Share Practices. Transform Education.

Following the Train the Trainer workshop, we invite BOCES leadership teams to continue building capacity across New York State through collaborative, year-long engagement. This follow-up series offers opportunities to:

• Dig deeper into the NY Inspires Playbook: Explore advanced strategies and tools to implement human-centered, equity-driven learning redesign.
• Share experiences and resources: Collaborate with peers across districts to exchange best practices, insights, and practical solutions.
• Strengthen regional and statewide networks: Build lasting connections with changemakers who are advancing graduation transformation and equitable learning for all students.

Pre K-3 Jubilee is a joyful celebration of early learning! Join educators from across the region on May 8, 2026 (8:15-3:00) for a one-day conference designed to inspire, connect, and energize.

Participants will explore NYSED's P-3 Learning Continuum through engaging sessions on movement and art, social-emotional learning, and play- and project-based practices. With a variety of offerings to choose from throughout the day, educators can create a personalized learning experience that reflects their interests and passions - all centered on nurturing curiosity, creativity, play, and connection in our youngest learners.

NY Inspires Initiative

The NY Inspires initiative and the New York Portrait of a Graduate provide a transformative framework for educational and district leaders to drive systemic change. This initiative supports the development of personalized, project-based learning (PBL) lessons that align with the Portrait of a Graduate competencies, ensuring students cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.

Educational leaders play a pivotal role in guiding teachers through this transformation, leveraging a logic model for transformational leadership to align instructional practices with student success outcomes.

Deeper Learning begins with reimagining traditional schooling through immersive experiences like Deep Dives and Den Talks.  Our conference theme, 'Leading for Deeper Learning' acknowledges the exceptional moment we find ourselves in, where we have the opportunity to craft educational experiences that can truly transform lives.  We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with  Ulster BOCES and Deeper Learning Global as we host the inaugural Deeper Learning New York conference in the beautiful Hudson Valley region. The DLNY Experience promises to be an unforgettable event.

Join us for the Together Series, a transformative five-day journey of learning and collaboration. This year's series focuses on fostering inclusive communities, amplifying student voice, and enhancing instructional practices that support all learners.
