• EduCon 2.3 — January 28–30, 2011 — Philadelphia

  "What is Educon?
  EduCon is both a conversation and a conference.
  
  And it is not a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we can come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas — from the very practical to the big dreams."
