10 Reasons to Be a Part of TCEA 2021

Each year, we bring together some of the brightest minds in education and technology for the annual TCEA Convention & Exposition. It goes without saying that planning such an event presents new challenges in 2020 and beyond. That’s why the 2021 TCEA Convention is built to be a flexible, powerful, and inspirational digital event.

What’s in store for those who register? Let’s explore ten reasons why we think you’ll like being a part of this innovative convention.

1. You can earn valuable CPE credit. Earn up to 40 CPE hours with live sessions, and keep the learning going with recorded, on-demand sessions until March 5, 2021. You expect powerful professional learning, and in 2021, we’re delivering it in flexible, self-paced ways that help you make professional development happen on your schedule.
2. You’ll start off each day with a boost. And then some. Morning kickoff events, February 2–6, will set the tone with live events and interviews, and relevant themes like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Leadership, and more fill out the days. Don’t miss out on content packages with valuable on-demand sessions dropping each day, on topics you care about.
3. We’ve got some new IDEAs in 2021. Two powerful networks of educators are partnering to give you even more learning throughout the month of February. Experience powerful speakers, expand your PLN, and make connections between two of the biggest networks supporting ed tech. And your registration comes with access to IDEAcon speakers and additional events, Feb. 22–24, 2021. Take advantage of a month of learning through this unique partnership.
4. There are new ways to connect. We all need a chance to recharge and reconnect with our PLN. Message your fellow attendees, connect with representatives of the biggest names in ed tech, chat and interact during live sessions, and have a ball at social events and taking part in conference-wide gamification. 
5. Our speakers are sure to inspire. When you look at education from every angle, you’ll find surprising and energizing ideas from a former Paralympian, a skateboarding principal, and many more fun and thoughtful speakers from across the world of education. We all need a boost these days, and these speakers will deliver.
6. Your learning, your way. Flexibility is crucial in education, especially now. That goes for professional learning, too. With content packages on timely themes, including on-demand recording you can watch for up to 30 days, you’re able to enjoy self-paced learning designed to cater to your interests — and fit your needs.
7. Something for everyone, no matter your role. Whether you grow the next generation as a classroom teacher, set the vision as a campus or district leader, or constantly innovate to make learning happen as one of many types of education professionals, you need powerful ways to reignite your passion and refresh your toolkit. Find sessions, events, and people who care about you and your role. No matter your place in education, you deserve world-class professional development.
8. Formats that fit how you work. Take in big ideas and fascinating insights in our featured focus sessions.
