2026 Global Educators' Summit
The Global Educators’ Summit (GES) is a two-day virtual conference bringing together educators and leading voices in space and STEM education from around the world.
This year, the 2026 Global Educators' Summit is being introduced in place of the in-person Space Port Area Conference for Educators. The Summit will take place virtually on June 25–26, 2026. While the format has shifted online this year, our mission remains the same: delivering high-quality, practical professional learning that educators can immediately bring back to their classrooms.
Planned for you this summer, GES offers 15 incredible workshop options featuring real lesson plans, classroom-ready presentations, and engaging strategies you can immediately implement this fall. Sessions will be led by elite educators and industry professionals from across the nation, including:
Alan Shepard Technology in Education Award winners
Previous SPACE presenters
Aerospace and space education professionals
Interactive Q&A sessions
An inspiring keynote speaker
