The one week each year the entire US edtech industry (operators, 300+ investors, district buyers and the K-12/higher-ed/workforce-learning crowd) collides at Columbia. Two days of programming on the Teachers College campus, with StartEd's Shark Tank finale as the on-stage anchor: three regional pitches earlier in October converge here and the organizers actually write checks to the winners. Day one skews higher-ed / workforce / early-learning; day two is PreK-12 and investor capital. A closed CEO Summit (Oct 13-14) runs alongside for founders of $10M+ ARR edtech companies: application only, no media, direct 1:1s with growth/strategic investors. The right room if you are selling into schools, districts or workforce.
