**What is EduCon 2.2?**
And it is **not** a technology conference. It is an education conference. It is, hopefully, an innovation conference where we can come together, both in person and virtually, to discuss the future of schools. Every session will be an opportunity to discuss and debate ideas -- from the very practical to the big dreams.
 * EduCon 2.2 is both a conversation and a conference.**
