Joint Annual Conference

2024 Conference Registration Opens June 3 

School leaders from across Illinois will gather November 22-24 in Chicago to share best practices and innovative solutions happening in their districts. Whether you are a returning attendee or new to the event, the Conference offers a variety of opportunities for board members, superintendents, and school business officials to grow their governance knowledge and expand their understanding of current topics impacting schools.

The 2024 Joint Annual Conference will bring together public education experts and high-performing school leadership teams to share knowledge, resources, and tools that have proven successful in creating educational opportunities for all students. The event allows district leaders the chance to build relationships with fellow public education advocates and create a lasting network to share new strategies for succeeding in their districts.

Conference registration and housing will open on Monday, June 3. The registration fee for 2024 will be $520 per person plus a required $200 deposit per guestroom if housing is requested. After October 15 registration will increase to $545. Further information about Conference housing and registration will be available in May.
