TL;DR: Check out (and re-share) Rarebird’s list of edu & ed tech events in 2026. If we missed any, let us know.
NOW UPDATED for 2026!
Each year there are dozens of education and ed tech related conferences and events for K-12, post-secondary, and higher ed leaders, professionals, educators, technologists, or their partners.
Some events are focused specifically on educational technology or online learning, which makes these ideal places for ed tech companies and startups to showcase their solutions and generate leads.
But many educator-focused events will also welcome ed tech companies as sponsors or exhibitors. These events are less a chance for ed techs to market, but still provide a great opportunity to network, learn from the community, and build brand awareness
So whether you’re an ed tech or in education, we think this list of major upcoming conferences and events will help you decide what to attend this year.
