New This Year: Two Ways To Get More Out of CLON

February 10, 2026
Back to Blog

CLON is a unique conference because it's all about you. What you want to learn, who you want to meet, and which questions you need answered. 

This year, we're taking that personalization even further. Your CLON ticket now includes two pre-conference options, each designed to help you kick off CLON feeling confident and informed, at no extra cost.

The Learning Starts Early With Two Pre-Conference Events

Both pre-conference experiences take place on Monday, March 2nd and are included with your CLON registration. Choose the option that best matches what you want to focus on and get ready to learn.

Explore What’s Next at the AI Innovation Showcase

New this year, the AI Innovation Showcase offers a hands-on way to explore some of the most promising education-focused AI tools.

Explore what’s emerging, ask questions, and uncover new possibilities for your schools. Then, rate your favorites and help us choose the winner of the AI Innovation Award.

If curiosity and exploration are what you’re into, the AI Innovation Showcase is a great place to start your time at CLON, with two opportunities to take part, either as an official Evaluator or as a drop-in attendee.

iPad Air devices will be provided for official Evaluators to rate the AI solutions with a scoring app, in determining the top-rated company to receive the AI Innovation Award.

When: Monday March 2, 10 am-12 pm.
Where: Ellington Salons B and C
Register here to be an official Evaluator (only 20 spots available).
No registration required to drop-in.

Build Your ClassLink Confidence at the Admin Bootcamp

Start CLON feeling confident and prepared with the ClassLink Admin Bootcamp.

This free pre-conference bootcamp is designed for anyone who is new to ClassLink or looking to strengthen their day-to-day use. You’ll explore your product configurations, including LaunchPad, Roster Server, and OneSync, and walk away with practical ideas you can use right away in your district.

Where: Mercer Salons G, H, and I
