Reimagine Education Expo

We are living through a profound shift. As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms the workforce and access to information becomes limitless, the question is no longer whether education must change — it’s how quickly we are willing to reimagine it.

Across the country and here in our own community, educators and families have already begun building new models of learning — human-centered, curiosity-driven, and adaptable to a changing world. The Reimagine Education Expo brings these innovators together in one shared space, making visible what already exists and inviting more families to take part in this shift.

At the heart of the Expo is the Exhibitor Hall, where families can meet and speak directly with founders and educators from forest and nature schools, learning pods, co-ops, self-directed learning centers, microschools, and forward-thinking private schools. Visitors have the opportunity to ask questions, explore educational philosophies, and discover programs that align with their child’s needs, strengths, and values.

Beyond the exhibitor space, the Expo serves as a convening ground for meaningful conversation. Through curated roundtables and short talks, educators and families come together to discuss alternative pathways, share lived experiences, and explore what education must look like in an AI-driven future. These facilitated conversations create space not just for information-sharing, but for collaboration, collective problem-solving, and movement-building.

A unique and powerful component of the event is the Youngpreneurs Exhibit and Youth Performance Stage. Attendees will witness firsthand what thriving young people look like when they are supported in pursuing their interests, building real-world skills, and stepping into leadership — whether through entrepreneurial projects, creative work, or live performances. These exhibitions offer tangible proof of what learner-centered education can cultivate: confidence, initiative, resilience, and purpose.

The Reimagine Education Expo is more than an informational fair. It is a call to action — a space for visibility, dialogue, and momentum. Human-centered education is not a fringe idea; it is the future. The models exist. The innovators are here. The only shift required is the willingness to see that another way is already possible.
