The Washington, D.C. Festival of Education is a unique professional learning event that brings together a vibrant and diverse community of educators. Now in its fourth year, the Festival enters an exciting new chapter as it moves to the British International School of Washington, right in the heart of the nation’s capital, on Saturday, 3 October 2026.

Building on three successful years that welcomed hundreds of educators from across the United States and beyond, the Festival has become a flagship gathering for anyone working in education. It offers an inclusive and inspiring space for learning, dialogue, and collaboration.

At the heart of the Festival is the belief that professional development should be engaging, energising, and joyful. Far from a traditional conference, it brings together thought-provoking sessions, influential voices, and interactive experiences, all designed to spark meaningful conversations and build lasting connections.

Guided by the principle “where those who inspire find their own inspiration” the Washington, D.C. Festival of Education celebrates bold ideas, encourages fresh thinking, and champions the innovation shaping today’s education landscape.

Join us in the capital for a day of learning, reflection, and inspiration
