"The Systems Change Conference is an awesome opportunity for educational leaders to network and learn from each other and educational experts on how to inspire positive change in their districts. I left the conference energized and excited to use the new ideas learned at the conference to improve my leadership skills, student learning in my classroom, and staff relations in my school."

"The Systems Change conference has become an important part of my individual professional development.  It has become one of the events I make sure not to miss.  As a school district leader, the agenda is rich in sessions that provide researched-based materials I can easily utilize to make my district more effective.  Over the past few years we have had our entire School Improvement Leadership Team attend and participate.  This has aided in the development of our current School Improvement Plan.  Many of the critical elements included in the plan are from things we learned at this conference."
