About the National Forum on Education Policy

The 2026 National Forum on Education Policy will bring policymakers and thought leaders from across the country together in Washington, D.C. to address the current and future needs for students and educators through state education policy.

We invite state leaders, policy organizations, education and research institutions, nonprofits and other organizations and individuals to submit a proposal to share insight on innovations and advancements in a range of education policy topics from early care and education through K-12, postsecondary and the workforce.

Submit your proposal for the opportunity to present to decision makers all across the education policy spectrum at our signature convening taking place July 8-10, 2026.
