This conference will not be live-streamed.
As special education leaders, we are more than administrators—we are catalysts for meaningful change. Join us as we ignite a movement that is inclusive, intentional, and unstoppable. Together, we will challenge traditional thinking, embrace innovative practices, and strengthen the leadership needed to transform outcomes for students with disabilities. Throughout this inspiring conference, you will gain practical tools, research-based strategies, and fresh perspectives to lead with confidence in an ever-changing educational landscape. You will collaborate with colleagues from across Georgia, build lasting professional connections, and discover proven approaches to foster cultures of innovation, equity, and excellence. You will also explore practical strategies for prioritizing your own well-being, building resilience, and sustaining the energy needed to lead others with purpose and passion. Most importantly, you will leave “re-charged” and empowered to champion meaningful change, inspire others, and take bold, actionable steps that create lasting impact in your schools, districts, and communities.
Experience three inspiring days with colleagues from across Georgia in beautiful Savannah! The conference features outstanding keynote speakers, timely and engaging breakout sessions showcasing exemplary practices, Georgia Department of Education initiatives, and the latest legal updates affecting special education. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with high-quality exhibitors, celebrate excellence through awards, win exciting door prizes, and participate in our Silent Auction.
And don't miss one of the conference highlights! Reserve Thursday evening from 5:00–7:00 p.m. for a complimentary celebration featuring heavy hors d'oeuvres, music, dancing, and plenty of surprises intentionally designed to help you relax, reconnect, and have fun with YOUR People!
Whether you attend on your own or bring your entire leadership team, you'll leave with fresh ideas, practical resources, meaningful connections, and renewed enthusiasm to make a lasting difference for students with disabilities.
This conference was designed for YOU and YOUR TEAM—we can't wait to welcome you to Savannah!
