Before the conference, we will share an invitation to our scheduling app—Sched!
This will give you all the titles and descriptions of exciting and transformative professional learning sessions at HIVE.
On the app, you’ll be able to build a schedule tailored to your needs and for just-in-time support, whether you’re a teacher, coach, or school leader. https://hive2025.sched.com/
While it’s too early to share a weather report, we wanted to give you a heads-up about what will be helpful to bring along to Orlando.
We like to recommend bringing layers for learning in comfort.
We will be hosting a complimentary professional headshot studio again, so please bring something that suits your style if this is of interest.
Additionally, bring along a computer/device and charger, as we’ll have lots of amazing resources to share with you at the conference!
