ABOUT

Innovate-Ed26
Our 2026 event will mark the 7th year of hosting Innovate-ED. We are proud to say that we have welcomed over 2400 participants from across the province and beyond to engage in meaningful learning and thoughtful discussion. We remain focused in our goal to engage and inspire even more educators as we plan the next Innovate-ED event. Our conference tagline is expanding to "Learning together, Students @ the Centre," however, we will continue our original vision of keeping everything we do focused around innovation and the learning environment's core participants, our students.
This year, Innovate-ED is taking on a new format that puts teacher learning and sharing at the center of the day. Educators from across SD22 are invited to share ideas, projects, practices, and tools from any subject area or grade level. Whether you are experimenting with a new teaching strategy, implementing new tools, redesigning learning experiences, or trying something entirely different, your experiences can inspire others just as much as they inspire you. Join us for a day of collaboration, reflection, and inspiration as we explore what is possible when educators share their passion and expertise.

CONFERENCE FOCUS
