About this conference
This year's theme, Connecting Vision to Impact, is all about bringing leaders together to unpack Advance CTE's new shared vision for the field and to explore how its principles will strengthen Career Technical Education (CTE) experiences and systems and empower learners at every level. The conference will include general sessions, smaller and interactive breakout sessions, and networking opportunities. A key focus will be the official release of Advance CTE's 2026-2031 Vision for the future of CTE on day one. Discussions will also cover the National Career Clusters® Framework, federal policy, and how states are putting policy into action, with insights from the Office of Career, Technical & Adult Education (OCTAE).
