# Look Out San Antonio – Here Comes ISTELive 25 and ASCD 25! - Link: https://teachercast.net/news/istelive-25-ascd-25/ - Published: 2024-03-12T10:00:00-04:00 - Author: Jeff Bradbury I’ll never forget my first trip to San Antonio Texas. It was the summer of 2013 and I was attending my second ISTELive conference. What made it special was not the presentations, the vendors, or the River Walk, it was something a bit different. It was in San Antonio, on a warm Monday evening, when I found out that I was going to be a father. That was 10 years ago and boy have things changed since then. San Antonio Texas has always been one of my favorite places to visit ever since. Today, I learned that next year’s trip will be even better! Today, ISTE and ASCD announced that they will be joining together for the first time ever to host one giant educational conference with the goal of “bringing together a community of educators and innovators to design the future of education.” ## Plan Your Trip Today! The event will be held from June 29 through July 2, 2025, at the Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center, Grand Hyatt San Antonio and San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, TX, and will feature close to 20,000 educators, hundreds of educational technology companies, and outstanding professional development sessions. The dual conference will keep individual branded names as ASCD25 and ISTELive 25. When the news was first shared that ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) and ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) in 2023 , one of the first questions on everyone’s minds was not “if” but “when” would we be able to gather together under one roof. I’m excited that that day will soon arrive. ## Why Attend ISTELive 25 and ASCD 25?
