Classrooms in Transition: The Future of Tech in Education

Education leaders across K-12 and higher education are navigating a moment of transformative change. As federal and state policies evolve and funding mechanisms shift, school systems and institutions are being called to modernize faster than ever. At the heart of this transformation lies technology — not only as a tool for instruction but as a strategic driver shaping infrastructure, learning models, and administrative innovation.

Join Brian Cohen, Vice President at the Center for Digital Education and former Vice Chancellor/CIO at CUNY, and Michael Martirano, veteran superintendent and education policy leader, for a 30-minute executive briefing on how technology priorities in education are changing and what that means for both public institutions and their private-sector partners.

They’ll explore:

• The impact of policy and funding changes on technology strategies in K-12 and higher education
• How CIOs and tech leaders are rethinking infrastructure, data management, and digital equity
• The strategic role of vendors as schools seek long-term solutions, not short-term fixes

Whether you're a technology provider looking to align more effectively with education buyers or an educator navigating transformation at your institution, this session will offer timely insights to help you lead with confidence in 2025 and beyond.
