ISTE Corporate Leadership Breakfast Meetings for ISTE 100 Members
History
In 1999, ISTE leaders saw the opportunity to improve teaching and learning in the classroom by bridging the gap between “users” of technology in education and “developers” and “providers” of technology for education. Thus, the ISTE 100 Corporate Membership was founded. Since its inception, the ISTE 100 program has been integral in convening representatives from the public and private sectors to learn from each other and to explore critical issues in the field. These corporate leadership breakfast meetings grew out of a series of successful gatherings and take place at NECC and several other Education Technology conferences throughout the year.
