CTO TechTalk 2026: Championship Leadership for K–12 Technology

We are thrilled to announce the CTO TechTalk 2026! Please join us as we take the pitch at BMO Stadium to bring you a technological golazo—an absolutely spectacular lineup of innovation, strategy, and leadership. Hosted by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) in partnership with the Greater Los Angeles Education Foundation (GLAEF), this electrifying one-day event is designed to elevate your playbook and shape the future of educational technology.

The Team Philosophy: One Team • One Vision • One Goal

The best soccer teams don't win with individual talent alone—they win through strategy, communication, adaptability, and teamwork. The same is true for Pre K–14 technology leadership. As AI transforms education and cybersecurity threats evolve, success depends on building a connected team with a shared vision. Together, we'll explore how to protect what matters, create opportunities for innovation, and help every student succeed.
