We’re Not EdTech. We’re Digital Learning.
At DLAC Ignite, we’re not layering tech onto yesterday’s classrooms. We’re reimagining learning—breaking down barriers of time and place so students can access opportunities that fit their lives, not just their zip codes.
Digital learning is driven by educators who dare to think differently. It’s teachers and leaders building hybrid and online schools. It’s policy advocates, nonprofit innovators, and entrepreneurs expanding the boundaries of what school can be. From district-run programs to microschools, charters, private models, and state virtuals, DLAC Ignite brings together the full spectrum of learning innovation.
We know digital tools aren’t magic. But when creative educators use them to scale access beyond classroom walls and bell schedules, students win.
Since our first DLAC Ignite in 2019, this community has grown every year—now representing nearly every U.S. state (hey Delaware and Rhode Island, you're next!) and 15 countries.
Join us this February in Sacramento to connect with fellow changemakers, challenge assumptions, and share ideas that are working. Our sessions are fast-paced, interactive, and designed to spark hallway conversations that keep going long after the conference ends.
DLAC Ignite isn’t just a conference. It’s a movement. Let’s keep building.
Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond:
For school year 2025-2026 we will be in Sacramento in February 2026
For school year 2026-2027 we will be in Atlanta in October 2026
For school year 2027-2028 we will be in Denver in October 2027
Future conferences are scheduled for October

Who DLAC is for
DLAC aims to bring together practitioners working on real change and is designed for a wide range of attendees, including:
Educators (school/district leaders, teachers) in traditional, online/, hybrid, or blended schools seeking to share best practices and learn from one another
Mainstream school educators seeking to start or develop system-level (school or district) digital learning programs and strategies
Companies and non-profit organizations providing digital tools, resources, professional learning, and other support
Researchers who work with educators to implement evidence-based improvements and enhancements
State education agency personnel and other policymakers who seek to support digital learning in a range of schools
Agenda Highlights
DLAC isn’t just a "sit and get" conference. You will have opportunities to share your experiences, learn from collaborators, catch up with colleagues, and meet new friends in both facilitated sessions and informal settings. There are also plenty of short presentations if you want to listen and learn.
So much of the value of a conference comes from the "hallway conversations" outside the sessions. We aim to maximize those opportunities while maintaining the benefits of more traditional conference programming.
