4. Get a Sneak Peek of the new Building a Future Ready Nation Initiative
Big things are coming—and ISTE Live 25 is your first chance to get in on the action.
This fall, we’re launching Future Ready Nation: Championing Public Schools—a bold new national campaign that calls on every educator, school leader, policymaker, and community member to stand united for public education. Rooted in innovation, access, and opportunity for all, this movement replaces the original Future Ready Pledge with something broader, bolder, and more inclusive.
Stop any member of the Future Ready team to ask about the Future Ready Nation—you’ll receive a limited-edition pin and get early access to what’s launching this fall.
5. Find Adam & Carl at ISTE to Learn About the Future Ready AI Leadership Bootcamp
AI is here—what is your district doing to ensure students and educators are ready?
Connect with Dr. Adam Phyall and Carl Hooker to learn more about the Future Ready AI Leadership Bootcamp and our New AI by Design Guide — a high-impact, six to 12 week virtual experience designed to help district teams co-create a strategic, responsible, and future-focused AI integration plan.
Helping district leaders move from AI curiosity to real classroom impact with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Ask Adam or Carl for the “secret code” to lock in 50% off your district’s registration!
That’s $2,500 in savings—and spots are limited.
6. Check Out the Best New AI Assistant Built for Teachers: Meet Socrait
AI tools are launching every day, promising to improve efficiency in education—but Socrait stands apart. Why? Because it was created by a real classroom teacher, Maria, who was tired of spending more time on drudgery than on doing what she loved: teaching, innovating, and connecting with her students.
Socrait was built for teachers, by a teacher — Stop by the Socrait at booth #1363 to experience the future of teaching, powered by AI and grounded in the realities of today’s classroom.
Start next year with a classroom copilot—so you can focus on what matters most: your students.

When you return home from ISTE, excited, inspired, and rejuvenated, please take time to rest, reflect, and recharge this summer. Celebrate your growth, take time to relax, and get ready to bring new bold, innovative ideas into the new school year.
And when you’re ready to take the next step, join us for our Fall 2025 Professional Learning Summits and Leadership Forums happening across the country. It’s your chance to keep the momentum going, connect with peers, and lead with purpose.
