Thank you to everyone who attended our call live!

Announcements & Idea Spotlight Recording: Watch Here

We shared an update on AI World 2026 which will be at The Venetian in Las Vegas, NV from Oct 25-28. This year the conference starts on Monday so we are having to adjust our time/plans for the State, Local & K12 forum. We are tentatively planning on having the Forum on Monday morning or Monday afternoon.
