December 7–9, 2025 | Loews Hollywood Hotel | Los Angeles, CA

Last year, 80% of delegates said NSF was the best event they attended all year.
This December, the bar rises again.

The National Superintendents Forum is where K–12’s top decision-makers step away from the noise and sit down for the conversations that actually shape what’s next. Strategy comes first. Candor is expected. And every leader in the room has the authority—and the urgency—to act.

Because when superintendents and strategic partners work side by side, progress stops being theoretical.
It becomes inevitable.

Who’s Taking the Stage

This year’s lineup brings together some of the most respected voices in district leadership:

• Dr. Quentin Lee — Opening Keynote: Beyond Security: The Psychology of Safety in Schools
• Dr. Avis Williams — on resilient leadership, navigating bias, and elevating community culture
• Dr. Kamela Patton — on whole-child systems, instructional focus, and sustainable turnaround
• Brian Woods — on healthy board governance and leading without dividing
• Dr. LaTonya Goffney — on purpose-driven instruction and rebuilding trust

These aren’t speeches—they’re working sessions with leaders who’ve been through the fire and know how to turn challenge into momentum.

What You’ll Dive Into

• Optimizing resources during budget tightening
• Rebuilding emotional wellness for staff and students
• Aligning instruction to student passions
• Modernizing communication to boost districtwide engagement
• Practical AI policies, practices, and pitfalls

Every session is built to sharpen thinking, strengthen leadership, and produce actionable next steps you can use the moment you’re back in district.

Why Superintendents Choose NSF

Decision-Makers Only. 97% of delegates are district leaders who set the agenda, not follow it.

“I walked away energized and focused—with steps I can apply right away.”
“Seven vendor meetings in one day. Incredibly valuable and time-saving.”
“Everything aligned with the purpose I came in with.”
