FETC is the acronym for Future of Education Technology® Conference.

Q: How is FETC valuable to the higher education community?

A:

FETC 2027 marks a meaningful step forward for higher education. For the first time, we're welcoming higher-ed leaders through UBLive, a co-located conference experience built specifically for colleges, universities, and the institutions shaping the educator pipeline, all happening alongside FETC at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, January 26–29.

UBLive brings dedicated sessions, tracks, and a Summit designed for the challenges higher education leaders face today, from AI adoption and instructional design to cybersecurity, workforce development, and student outcomes. Attendees include presidents, provosts, deans (especially from Colleges of Education), CIOs, CTOs, IT and security leaders, workforce and CTE directors, and instructional technology leaders from community colleges and regional universities.

While UBLive and FETC maintain separate programming (2027 Program & Agenda coming later this year), attendees from both communities share a keynote stage, an Expo Floor, and robust networking opportunities. That integration is intentional. The conversations happening between K–12 and higher education leaders in the same space, at the same time, produce the kind of cross-sector insight that doesn't happen at single-track events.

If your work sits at the intersection of K–12 and higher ed, or if you're focused on teacher preparation, workforce readiness, or campus-wide technology strategy, FETC 2027 and UBLive together give you a concentrated, high-value experience you won't find anywhere else.

Stay tuned for more information on UBLive at FETC!

FETC 2027 will convene at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida.

Yes, attendees can enjoy special rates. Visit our Housing page for details.

No, FETC does not currently offer a virtual component. The conference is an in-person event designed to provide hands-on experiences, face-to-face networking opportunities, and direct access to industry-leading experts. We believe that the immersive nature of our in-person format delivers the most value to our attendees. We encourage you to join us on-site to fully experience everything FETC has to offer.

FETC speakers are selected from a public request for proposals (RFP) that is open each year from March until June on the FETC webpage. Speakers may apply to speak through the Application Service Center.
