A national convening for school leaders
focused on marketing, communications, and branding

School teams are being asked to do more than ever. Yet there are few spaces designed specifically for K-12 marketing, communications, and operations leaders to step back, learn from peers, and strengthen their approach.

The K-12 Marketing & Communications Excellence Summit was created to fill that gap.

This one-day, in-person conference will bring together experts from across the country to share best practices, learn from each other, and have some fun while we’re at it. Student enrollment is always part of the conversation, with the summit focused on excellence across brand, strategy, messaging, leadership, and execution.
