Collaboration and collective impact are at the heart of the GlobalMindED conference – among educators, entrepreneurs and business leaders, policymakers in government and nonprofits, and First Generation college students. Hundreds of dedicated professionals and students come together to learn from world famous keynote speakers and take part in breakout sessions that target educational change. They share what has worked in classrooms throughout the country and come away with ways to craft innovative approaches in different settings. Most importantly, they talk with each other and build on one another’s successes  as they grapple with preparing today’s  students for tomorrow’s workforce.
