KSDE and Educate Kansas are proud to host the 2nd Annual BOOST Conference on the beautiful campus of Emporia State University. This statewide event brings together Kansas leaders from higher education and PreK–12 school districts to collaborate on strengthening educator recruitment and retention across our state. The conference will be held June 29–30, 2026, at Emporia State University’s Memorial Union.
A key feature of the event is our dynamic breakout sessions—60-minute opportunities for participants to select topics that align with their interests and goals. Each day will also include special keynote presentations from KSDE and AASPA leadership, paired with timely breakout sessions focused on recruitment and retention. Sessions will be organized around three strands: professional learning, problem-solving, and creation of tools for implementation.
