Now’s the time—submit your proposal to present at the 2026 Education Symposium! Educate Maine has officially opened its inbox and is accepting proposals NOW for presentations at the biggest education and workforce event of the year. You are invited to present on Powerful Partnerships, the theme of this year’s event.
Whether your work is rooted in classrooms, campuses, workplaces or communities, we invite you to share how partnerships are driving impact and helping more Mainers thrive. We know how important partnerships are, because you’ve told us! A powerful lesson emerged throughout last year’s event: some of the most impactful work happens together.
When educators, employers, higher education, community organizations, and policymakers come together around a shared goal, they create opportunities that no single organization could achieve alone. From expanding access to career-connected learning and strengthening educator pathways to supporting student success and community prosperity, partnerships are helping Maine tackle complex challenges and unlock new possibilities.
Now you have the opportunity to tell others, at Maine’s premier gathering of educators, employers, policymakers and community leaders as we explore the power of partnership on Friday, Dec. 11 in Portland.
We seek proposals from employers, partners and educators working together to create meaningful outcomes for learners and communities. For more info and to submit, go here: https://cfp.sched.com/speaker/2kb2DKxFhk/event
