VAESP Annual Conference; Making Space: Learn Engage, Reflect

June 29, 2026 10:00 AM - July 1, 2026 12:00 PM (EDT)

Description

Every June, school leaders from across the Commonwealth come together to learn, engage, and reflect. For school leaders, making space for learning and growth is essential—yet not always easy. Join us as you take advantage of the space we’ve intentionally created, featuring world-class speakers, dynamic breakout sessions, an extensive exhibitor show, and meaningful opportunities for networking. And did we mention the beach?
