Beyond School Hours Conference
FEBRUARY 14-17, 2024 
NEW ORLEANS, LA HILTON RIVERSIDE
New Orleans: Hilton Riverside
With a spectacular riverfront location, the Hilton Riverside is a short walk to many New Orleans hot spots – and features amazing views of the city skyline and the Mississippi River. The hotel is connected to the Riverwalk outlets in the central business district – and within a mile of the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and the Aquarium of the Americas.
What Past Conference Goers Say
Don’t take our word on it, hear it from past attendees!
I have been in education for 37 years. I enjoyed the ambiance, the speakers, the breakout sessions and even the food. I have been to several national conferences but nothing like this one. I felt immersed in all the topics, they seemed to be all new and their content and the presenters were enlightening.

This was a wonderful conference. A good balance of workshops and activities. I especially liked the hands-on components woven into workshops and speaker addresses. Everyone I met from tech personnel to organizers, colleagues and service workers-were so friendly, helpful and down-to-earth.
