The Educators Rising National Conference 2019 will take place June 22–25, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. Everyone is invited to participate in this action-packed event filled with networking, learning, competing, and celebrating; please note, students must be paid, Active-level members of Educators Rising in order to participate. It's an opportunity for students and their teacher leaders to:

Connect and learn from each other through breakout workshops;
Compete for national titles in 20 competitive events designed to allow students to develop and showcase their teaching skills; and
Be inspired by keynote presentations from national education leaders.

This year's conference theme:

There's power in student voice. Today our students find themselves at the center of many of the biggest flashpoints in education. Rising educators have valuable insights to share about the state of education, but many don’t know how to get involved. At this year’s Educators Rising National Conference, we will focus on allowing students the time and space to make their voices heard on the important issues facing them both as current students and future teachers! #UseYourVoice #EdRising19

The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Dallas. Conference registration will open on February 1, and early bird registration discounts end on April 22, 2019.
