Join us in shaping one of the most impactful gatherings for Idaho’s school leaders.
The ISBA Annual Convention 2026 will take place
November 4–6, 2026 at the Boise Centre in Boise. We’re currently seeking dynamic, engaging breakout session proposals for
Wednesday, November 4, and Thursday, November 5.
Each session is 60 minutes and serves as an opportunity to spark ideas, share expertise, and make a lasting impact on school board members and school leaders from across the state.
We’re looking for presentations that go beyond theory - sessions that equip board members with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and actionable strategies to strengthen their districts and charters, inspire innovation, and advance student success.
What Makes a Strong Proposal?We’re especially interested in sessions that:
- Speak directly to school board members as the primary audience
- Build knowledge, skills, and confidence in governance and leadership
- Highlight proven or promising practices that others can replicate
- Actively engage participants through discussion, interaction, or problem-solving
- Offer innovative ideas or creative solutions to today’s challenges
- Provide practical, take-home tools and strategies board members can use right away
- Address the unique needs of the following groups:
- Charter schools
- New board members and school leaders
- Rural, small schools
For Vendors & Partners
We value the expertise of our partners and encourage proposals that:
- Focus on learning and insight - not sales pitches
- Deliver meaningful content relevant to board leadership and student outcomes
- Include participation as a paid exhibitor or sponsor during the convention
If you have a story to share, a strategy that works, or an idea that could help move Idaho’s schools forward - we’d love to hear from you.
Submit your proposal and be part of the conversation shaping the future of education in Idaho.
