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

How is FETC valuable to the higher education community?

While the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) has a strong focus on PK–12 implementation, the strategies, tools, and solutions highlighted throughout the event apply broadly to teaching and learning across all levels—including higher education. Many sessions emphasize core themes such as technology integration, active learning strategies, AI literacy, student engagement, assessment, data use, and inclusive practices. These approaches are not bound to K–12 and translate directly into the college classroom and campus environment. For example, sessions on generative AI, digital content creation, immersive learning tools (AR/VR/XR), and instructional design with technology provide actionable strategies that higher education faculty can adopt immediately. We regularly welcome faculty, instructional designers, CIOs, and administrators from colleges and universities. They attend both to gain insights into classroom technologies and to explore campus-wide strategies around IT, cybersecurity, data systems, and student support. The cross-pollination of ideas is one of FETC’s strengths—what works in K–12 often inspires innovation in higher education, and vice versa. You’ll find great value at FETC through both the sessions and the opportunity to connect with a diverse network of educators and leaders who are reimagining learning with technology. Many attendees from higher ed leave with new strategies, tools, and partnerships they can apply directly to their own teaching and campus initiatives. Please review the event content agenda to find presentations that match your needs.
