Minnesota CoSN CTO Clinic

Join fellow K–12 technology leaders for the 2026 Minnesota CTO Clinic on Wednesday, March 18 at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest in Brooklyn Park. This one-day event brings together education and technology leaders to connect, collaborate, and explore timely topics impacting schools across Minnesota.

The clinic will feature a national and local conversation with Keith Krueger, interactive networking opportunities, and leadership learning with George Couros, along with dedicated time for vendor connections, table discussions, and action planning you can bring back to your district.

While designed with CTOs and Technology Directors in mind, this event is open and welcoming to superintendents, central office leaders, and aspiring educational technology leaders who want to strengthen their understanding of the evolving technology landscape—because today’s tech decisions affect every part of school operations, teaching and learning, and district leadership.
