📢 Event Sponcon: New Orleans is calling educators, founders, and builders

This week’s education innovation headline isn’t a report or a policy shift it’s a place to play.

In New Orleans, educators, founders, cultural leaders, technologists, artists, and funders are coming together for a conversation that stretches beyond traditional education and into the systems, culture, and creativity shaping how we learn.

🎉 Playground Summit | February 26–27

📍 New Orleans, LA - Hosted by 4.0

Playground Summit is intentionally expansive. It’s designed for people working inside and outside formal education — and for anyone who believes the future of learning will be built at the intersection of culture, community, and innovation.

This year’s speakers reflect that range:

• Jess VanderWier — advancing new models of learning and leadership

• Aisha Bowe — engineer and founder expanding access to who gets to build

• Stephen Satterfield — redefining education through culture, food, and systems change

• BMike — artist and educator challenging how we imagine and remember

• Alongside builders in the field, including 4.0 alumni like Katie Beck Sutler and Chapman Snowden

What to expect:

• Cross-sector conversations spanning education, culture, technology, and capital

• A room designed for connection, not just panels

• Space for people building institutions and people reimagining them
