Our Convening theme this year is Sparking Bold Solutions Together. This theme embodies the spirit of innovation within us all, and more than ever, we must unite as a community dedicated to cultivating the inventive mindset that exists in every student. It’s time to be bold, think big and develop solutions to tackle the challenges our field is facing today.

Taking place in Portland, you can expect an immersive experience where you’ll learn more about Oregon’s invention education ecosystem and what it takes to build and sustain invention education in classrooms, programs and communities. We’ll challenge you to think outside the box and beyond your organization to build new partnerships, workshop creative ideas, and advance the field with new knowledge. You’ll leave reinvigorated and ready to apply bold new solutions in your school, organization or field of work.
