PROGRAM PREVIEW
Join us for inspiration: more than 70 sessions revolving around four themes:

2,000 educators, decision-makers, and influential experts from the public and private sectors will unlearn and relearn a range of topics that are influencing the future of teaching and learning, including mindfulness, well-being, the role of exponential technologies and behavioral sciences.
The WISE Summit is an international, multi-sectoral conference dedicated to building the future of education through empowerment and partnership.
