Signature Experiences
Pre-registration is required for the Signature Experiences, and there is an extra fee to attend.
We invite you to take part in NAIS Thrive in a fresh and exciting way. Our Signature Experiences offer focused explorations of urgent themes:
- Signature Experience 1: Influence and Impact: Core Skills for Mid-Level Leaders
- Signature Experience 2: Educators over EdTech, Pedagogy over Platforms: Teacher Agency in the AI Age
- Signature Experience 3: Leadership Aperture: Adjusting the Lens of Mid-Level Leadership
Each experience is capped at 150 attendees and includes an exclusive keynote from industry experts, deep discussions with an engaged cohort, and actionable takeaways for your chosen theme.
Each of the three experiences has programming on both Thursday and Friday, and you still have access to the conference’s keynote speakers, workshops, and networking.
