Administrators' Days 2020

Virtual Conference
ADMINISTRATORS’ DAYS 2020 is just around the corner! This annual event for all Nebraska School Administrators provides the opportunity to gain the latest information and development on issues schools are dealing with in Nebraska, motivation from national speakers, and connect with other educational leaders and vendors.
Administrators’ Days 2020 has pivoted from an in-person event to a virtual conference that will still provide an exceptional experience including many of the activities that make Administrators’ Days so special. The virtual format will provide networking opportunities and meet-ups, give aways and prizes, and allow you to view recorded sessions after the event, so you’ll be able to gain learning from ALL sessions. We hope to see you online in July!
