THANK YOU to our Undaunted 2021 Annual Conference Advisory Committee for all of their help as we collaborated to create the best possible event for your conference experience!

The Content

The core virtual Annual Conference content is being designed to give you back a feeling of control. Leveraging thought leaders such as keynote speakers Homa Tavangar and Will Richardson, co-founders of the Big Questions Institute, we’ll guide you down the path of asking the right questions to figure out how you can best serve your school at this phase of the recovery and discover just what you need to put in place for the future.

KEYNOTES

Homa Tavangar, "Nurture Belonging & Deeper Learning for Global, Cultural & Racial Competence"
Homa Tavangar, throughout her career, has addressed themes of culture, innovation, leadership, global competence, and deep diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion. She is the author of Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be At Home in the World and other works. Growing Up Global was the inspiration behind NBC-Universal’s animated series Nina’s World.

Will Richardson, "Learning in a Post-Pandemic World: What's Changed (and Is Changing) About Education and Schools"Named one of 100 global "Changemakers in Education" by the Finnish site HundrED and one of the Top 5 "Edupreneurs to Follow" by Forbes, Will Richardson has authored six books and has given TEDx Talks in New York, Melbourne, and Vancouver.
 
Early sessions each day will be devoted to providing the context you need for assessing where you are now as we work through our active recovery and wrestling with where to go next while sustaining innovations from the past year. Later sessions will engage attendees in a variety of formats, from guided conversations to quick Soapbox Solutions offered by your colleagues across the independent school landscape, all to help you apply what you have learned and uncover real take-aways. Special topics crowd-sourced from the community include leadership and productivity, teaching and learning, IT systems and support, DEI and technology, and cybersecurity and data safety.

The In-Person Retreat in Seattle

For those who can  join us in person in Seattle on July 24-26, with opportunities for team sessions on July 27, we will host a workshopping retreat to build on the content delivered during the virtual Annual ConferenceThis networking event will employ significant measures to ensure the safety of attendees while providing an in-person retreat experience designed to explore the future of independent school technology leadership.  
We understand that not everyone is comfortable with travel, and some schools may have restrictions on travel for the remainder of the school year. But for those who are able and willing to gather in person, ATLIS is deploying extreme precautions to keep you safe in Seattle. 

The Big Picture
Thank you for your interest in this unique recalibration experience. As the only organization supporting technology leadership in independent schools, ATLIS invests the proceeds from the Annual Conference back into the community with new resources and programming to meet emerging needs with just-in-time solutions. The Association has some game-changing resources on the near horizon. Your support of the ATLIS 2021: Undaunted event not only serves you and your school immediately with premier professional development but enables ATLIS to invest in the advancement of the field overall. Together, we are empowering schools to thrive through technology leadership. 

ATLIS 2021 Undaunted. Annual Conference Refund Policy
Because the ATLIS conference is being conducted virtually, we are unable to offer refunds for the 2021 event. This is in keeping with our posted refund policy that all attendees are asked to acknowledge when registering. This year’s all-school registration provides access to multiple attendees from the same school, and recordings will be available after the live event, enabling all participants to obtain full value from their registration investment. 

Retreat participants can register with confidence, knowing that they will receive a 100% refund if we are unable to gather in person in Seattle. 

ATLIS appreciates your patience and understanding. Contact [email protected] with questions or requests.
