Join school board members from across the state for a unique learning experience focused on the future of public education and – most importantly – New York’s schoolchildren. NYSSBA’s 90th Annual Convention takes place October 15 – 18 in New York City. Participate in an impressive educational program, including:
- Josh Sundquist, an inspirational and nationally recognized paralympic ski racer who has defeated the odds, as our Convention Opening Keynote Speaker.
- More than 70 education seminars on an array of topics to help you and your school district give your students the best.
- Exceptional featured speakers, offering new 90-minute sessions focused on the topics that matter most to you, including teaching leading and learning in a global society, school wellness and substance abuse.
- Ample opportunities to network with your colleagues from around the state.
- More than 160 trade show vendors showcasing the latest products and services that will benefit your district.
Once again this year, all programs will take place at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, along with the nearby Sheraton Manhattan. Both are in the heart of midtown Manhattan and are central to some of the best attractions the city has to offer.
This year’s event promises to be one you won’t soon forget. I’ll see you in October!
And remember – it’s your convention – their future.
