What is TCEA?
TCEA is more than a leading convention for educators—we’re an education technology nonprofit with more than 90,000 members spanning the United States and even the world. Since 1980, our team has worked alongside educators and legislators to eliminate the barriers in education through the use of technology, best practices, and trusted pedagogy.
Our mission is to advance teaching and learning through the use of technology in all PreK-16 classrooms – public, private, or in the home. How? Through a combination of advocacy, professional learning, and community offered through TCEA membership.
The path to your TCEA membership is simple: all TCEA event attendees receive membership, with free auto-renewal each year.
So, what are you waiting for?
What is the TCEA Convention & Exposition?
The TCEA Convention & Exposition is our biggest educator-focused professional development event of the year, helping educators of all kinds find their path forward through the shifting landscape of instruction. This is our 47th year hosting TCEA, and we’re more excited than ever to break new ground, connect visionary minds, and forge a path to new, exciting destinations. You’ll attend sessions, explore the exhibit hall, and discover a community of educators 90,000 strong.
It’s not just an ed tech conference—it’s where good tech meets good teaching.

Educators love TCEA!
Attendees return to this conference year after year because they know they’ll hear inspiring speakers, gather a wealth of useful resources and strategies, meet vendors who introduce them to new possibilities and solutions, and have ample time to connect with other amazing educators.
But don’t just take it from us. Here is what our attendees have to say:
I loved both vendors and the exhibit. The sessions exposed us to actively acquiring knowledge regarding emerging trends in educational, informational, and infrastructure technology.
Gilbert

TCEA does a fantastic job not only of allowing us to attend and learn annually, but also of allowing us to network. We find out things that work, things that don't, and what others are doing in our positions at other districts. It is an AMAZING resource!
