BLUEPRINTS FOR TOMORROW
Designing the Next Era of Learning
Minneapolis, MN | November 4-6, 2025
Are you ready for the future?
The world is evolving faster than ever. How do we prepare today’s young people for a future that is more globally connected, technologically advanced, and complex than ever before?
Join us to chart the next era of learning—one that inspires curiosity, fosters connection, and cultivates a sense of purpose in every young person. We’re building networks that take bold ideas and translate them into concrete strategies and unstoppable action. Together, we’re creating the Blueprints for Tomorrow. Will you join us?
What We’re Talking About
Our conversation at the 2025 Exchange will explore four critical areas shaping the future of learning:
Student Engagement
How do we foster student engagement that sparks academic achievement, creativity, joy, and meaningful learning?
AI/Technology
How can we harness Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology in ways that expand opportunities for all young people?
Mental Health & Well-being
How can we understand and promote mental health and well-being as critical for student success and future readiness?
Learning Pathways
How do we build flexible learning pathways that connect young people to their multi-faceted goals for career, civic life, and lifelong growth?
The environments and opportunities we design today will define what’s possible for generations to come. Together, let’s build the Blueprints for Tomorrow.
