As we head into Day 3 at ISTELive 2026, we're looking back at an incredible Day 2. One of the highlights was our standing-room-only session, "Bagels and Breakthroughs," led by Cindy Brindisi Daniels, Nicole Caldwell M.Ed., and Nicole Lamberton. The energy in the room and the thoughtful conversations around innovation in education made for an inspiring start to the day. Throughout Day 2, our strategic partners hosted engaging workshops and Innovative Talks, sparking meaningful discussions on AI, teaching and learning, accessibility, and the future of education technology. It was great to see educators and technology leaders sharing ideas, asking questions, and collaborating on solutions they can bring back to their schools and districts. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Day 2 such a success. We're looking forward to another great day at ISTELive! #WeSolveIT #education #innovation
