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.

All proposals must be submitted through the form. You can find the link to the form HERE.

Please view the Planning Guide HERE.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is Friday, July 31, 2026.

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.
