Delegate Testimonials
This has been a great experience. It was nice to hear from other technology leaders around the country. I have left this conference with many new ideas.
I am delighted to share my experience with RTM, which has been nothing short of exceptional. As a company, RTM has consistently demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.
Attending RTM events has been a truly rewarding experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend these events to anyone seeking top-notch learning. Thank you, RTM, for your commitment to excellence and for exceeding my expectations every step of the way.
We so often work in silos and struggle to connect with colleagues in a productive and safe environment. This event brings together thought leaders from across the country to share, learn and collaborate with a clear focus on students!
The best conference one can attend. It has excellent content, scheduling, and location.
RTM always puts on a great conference! Every detail is well thought out and planned. The presenters are very knowledgeable and share great information as well as resources! Many opportunities exist to network and share ideas with other district leaders nationwide! If you can only attend one conference in the school year, this is the one to attend!
RTM was a great conference experience. The format of having service providers blended in with participants throughout the experience was a fantastic experience for both "types" of attendees. Having solution providers hear firsthand what the issues facing educators are and what kinds of solutions might help us is crucial for the future of education.
