About The Program
The Career & Technical Education Congress is an invitation-only forum bringing together national CTE leaders and industry partners focused on advancing career-connected learning.
Directors, state leaders, and district decision-makers join solution providers for two days of strategic dialogue, curated one-on-one meetings, and collaborative discussions around workforce readiness, modern CTE programs, and expanding meaningful student pathways.
Together, delegates and partners exchange ideas, explore practical solutions, and build the relationships needed to strengthen CTE programs and prepare students for the careers of tomorrow.

Delegate Testimonials
I really enjoyed the format of this event! Having one on one time with specific solution providers was a very beneficial way to consider new options for my district. I also really liked how much time there was to network with colleagues from across the nation.
The best event I attend every year! I have made great professional connections through the tremendous networking opportunities. Love the event!
I absolutely loved this conference—it is so relevant for CTE Directors/Leaders. This was so worth my time and effort.
