The K-12 Education Conference Calendar: Every Event Worth Knowing About, August 2026

Angles, Inc. believes that cultivating, maintaining, and growing relationships is worth far more than renting an audience to pitch an offer. And the best place to start professional relationships is at professional conferences. We plan to update this list every month—if you have any suggestions, please let us know! Its companion, The Higher Education Conference Calendar, covers higher education events.

Last updated: August 17, 2026 · 139 conferences across the next 12 months · 130 United States, 9 international

How to use this list

This calendar covers conferences for district and school leaders: Superintendents, principals, curriculum and technology leaders, school boards, special education and student services, CTE, and the state associations that serve them.

Events are grouped by month and sorted by start date. Within each month, larger national conferences are listed first with full detail; regional, state-association and niche events follow under Also happening. Every conference name links to its official site. International events are collected in their own section at the end.

Where an organizer has published them, listings also carry the early-bird deadline and registration cost. Those move, so check the official site before relying on a figure here.

Where a detail is not yet published, it reads TBA rather than being guessed at. Keynote line-ups are typically announced three to six months out, so they fill in as the year progresses. This list is rebuilt at the start of every month.

The Higher Education Conference Calendar covers higher education events. 15 conferences that draw both audiences appear on both calendars.
