DisruptED Homepage

It's Time

DisruptED is different. It is designed for those who believe the future is now. It is for those who are willing to challenge assumptions, to take risks, in order to see what is possible in education today. It is for those who are not afraid to ask: What should school look like tomorrow?

The creators of DisruptED are united in our belief that beautiful things can happen when we disrupt the status quo. To this end, we welcome all participants, and encourage the rogues, the rule breakers, the ones interested in pushing the limits to step forward. At DisruptED, individuals and groups will be given the opportunity to come together over three days to share stories and ideas.

DisruptED is not a status quo conference. Expect to participate. Expect to create. Expect to learn. Expect to teach. Expect to think. Expect to laugh. Visit a high school that dares to be different. Experience the beauty of Vancouver as you join in a “Walk and Talk” along the seawall. Engage in rich dialogue in one of the city’s casual cafes. Hear from amazing speakers. And expect to leave motivated, connected, and inspired. It's time to shake up education.
