Summary - 2026 MOREnet Annual Conference

Rewind the Past. Fast-Forward to the Future.

We’ve spent decades building the foundation for Missouri’s educational and technical landscape. Now, it’s time to recalibrate for a new era. Our 2026 conference is a space to reflect on our progress, realign our strategies, and reignite our passion for serving our communities.

For Instructors & Media Specialists: Transform your teaching toolkit. Master the art of digital citizenship and innovative technology to create accessible, future-ready learning environments for every student.
For IT Staff, Administrators & Libraries: Optimize the engine that powers your institution. From AI integration to robust system administration, get the blueprint for building resilient, high-performance networks.

The future is loading. Are you ready?

In the 90s, we were just learning how to connect. Today, we’re redefining what those connections can do. We’re bringing together the visionaries in the classroom and the architects in the server room to realign our goals for the year ahead.

What are we serving up?

Actionable Strategy: Tackle your biggest hurdles with collaborative networking.
Innovative Solutions: Find out how to stay ahead of the EdTech curve.
Digital Equity: Discover new ways to ensure equal access for all.

This isn’t just another tech conference. It’s a dynamic meet-up to reimagine the way we approach technology and pedagogy in Missouri.

Upgrade your professional toolkit and bridge the gap between the classroom and the server room with strategies that actually work.

The future is calling. Will you pick up?

Remember the magic of the first computer lab? We’re looking back at how far we’ve come to expand the way we teach today. These days are designed for the visionaries—teachers, librarians, and media specialists—ready to master the next wave of EdTech.

Rewind: Explore how foundational pedagogy meets the newest devices and applications.
Level Up: Walk away with a "mix-tape" of practical ideas, from digital citizenship to project-based learning, that you can play in your classroom immediately.
The Lab: Don’t miss the Immersive Learning Lab on Tuesday for a hands-on experience with the tools that are defining the future of K-20 education.

The tech landscape has evolved from simple dial-up to complex, high-speed networks. Whether you’re a solo tech director or a seasoned CTO, these two days are dedicated to reconfiguring your systems for maximum resilience.

Sync Up: Dive into the "back end" of education—from cybersecurity protocols to AI-driven infrastructure.
Multiplayer Mode: Join a community of peers to share solutions for the challenges that keep you up at night.
Execute: Leave with a blueprint to elevate your organization’s technology, ensuring your network is ready for whatever comes next.
