32nd Annual MicroSociety Conference

Join us in Philadelphia, July 13–15, 2026, for the 32nd Annual MicroSociety Conference—where education gets revolutionary.

Timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of American independence, this year’s conference is all about honoring the spirit of freedom—and celebrating the power of young citizens to lead, create, and shape a better future through innovation and enterprise.

At its core, MicroSociety is about connection and community—the fuel behind transformative, grassroots education. This July, we’re creating space for educators to step back, recharge, and imagine what’s possible when students take the lead in purpose-driven communities.

Together, we’ll zero in on a goal that matters: increasing student engagement and attendance by making learning feel real, relevant, and alive.

Whether you're a teacher, a school leader, or an education advocate, this event will energize and equip you to nurture the next generation of doers, dreamers, and difference-makers.

Principals and coordinators of fully contracted schools attend free. And when a school sends five paid attendees, the sixth attends free. No refunds after February 28, but registrations may be transferred to a colleague.

Info: Each year, we open the conference with a Gala event where we announce the winners of the George Awards. Named after MicroSociety’s founder, Dr. George H. Richmond, the George Awards recognize exceptional work by and for our educators and students.
