LEAD. LEARN. CONNECT.

The MASA Spring Conference brings educational leaders from across the state together to share ideas, strengthen connections and inspire action. Centered on the theme Lead. Learn. Connect., the event celebrates our collective effort to guide, support, and create opportunities for every student to thrive.

Through engaging keynotes, collaborative sessions, and opportunities to network with other leaders and business partners, participants will explore what it means to lead with empathy, learn with curiosity, and connect with intention. Together, we’ll explore innovative practices that build bridges across districts, generations, and communities — reminding us that leadership is not about position, but about relationships that inspire trust and possibility.

📍 March 19–20, 2026 | Marriott Minneapolis NW

Join your colleagues from across Minnesota to:

  • Lead with purpose through inspiring keynotes and conversations that challenge and empower.

  • Learn with curiosity by exploring innovative practices and new perspectives that drive student success.

  • Connect with intention as you build relationships with fellow leaders and business partners who share your commitment to education.

✨ Special Conference Events

  • Topgolf Social - Meet us in the lobby on Thursday to catch the bus to Topgolf! Enjoy an evening of fun, networking, and friendly competition with your colleagues.
  • Dessert & Appreciation Gathering - Join us for dessert as we gather in appreciation of MASA’s shared work and leadership. Dr. Deb Henton will be present to greet colleagues and connect in person.

Come ready to learn, connect, and be inspired—your leadership is needed now more than ever.

A special thank you to our conference sponsors!
