From Readiness to Reality: Leading the Next Era of K‑12 Technology

K‑12 education is at a pivotal moment—where possibility is abundant, but readiness often determines success. As districts navigate an increasingly complex technology landscape, the challenge is no longer just about adopting new tools, but about building the foundation that allows innovation to be secure, sustainable, and impactful.

In this keynote, Dr. Elizabeth Freas draws on her experience as a former educator and district leader overseeing technology and cybersecurity across 100+ districts to explore what it truly takes to move from readiness to reality. Attendees will gain practical insight into the essential building blocks of modern K‑12 technology environments, including governance, data stewardship, cybersecurity, and cross-functional leadership.
