Thank You for an Incredible Conference!

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, presented, sponsored, volunteered, and supported this year’s conference. Events like this don’t happen because of one organization — they happen because an entire community believes our students deserve the very best. Thank you for investing your time, expertise, and passion in this important work.

Presentation materials, sponsor information, and additional resources are now available on our Conference Follow-Up page. Many of our presenters and sponsors have generously shared resources to help you continue implementing new ideas throughout the coming school year.

We especially encourage you to explore the PCC Resource Network. Enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year is still open. Schools across Indiana are already preparing for the start of PCC classes with its ready-to-use lesson plans and classroom resources to strengthen career-connected learning. 

What happens when a community decides its young people matter enough to redesign everything around them? In the latest edition of The Work of Inspiring Success, Inspire Success Executive Director Aimee Portteus shares what she witnessed firsthand at the Vision in Action Convening in Union City, Indiana — and why she believes the model being built there can travel.
