2026 1EdTech Technical Congress

Event information

The Technical Congress is a working meeting for 1EdTech members to advance cross-specification collaboration, standards governance, and other key initiatives our community is leading.

This year's meeting follows one thread through four themes. 

1. Making learning portable, both the context that AI-enabled tools need and the skill definitions that give learning its meaning. 
2. Evolving the 1EdTech Security Framework for the latest best practices, MCP, and the agent-driven patterns arriving behind them. 
3. Making student progress measurable across systems, so that instructors and the tools they use have a consistent and unambiguous view of how a learner is doing. 
4. Weaving together identity, experiences, skills, and credentials to create a richer, more connected learner journey.

Work will take place in table discussions and breakouts led by the technical program managers and architects who oversee each specification.

Who Should Attend?

• Members actively participating in 1EdTech technical working groups
