You will learn about recently released features within the student information system and the financial management system and discover upcoming future release options in order to become better prepared.
Learn from Your Colleagues
Hundreds of attendees come from other districts in Wisconsin, Illinois, and other states. In our peer-to-peer and roundtable sessions, you will be able to exchange ideas, get solutions, discuss common practices among school districts, collaborate on issues to find solutions that will work for you, and connect with other Skyward® users.
Network with Industry Professionals
You’ll have the opportunity to discover what’s new with exhibiting companies. User groups are partially made possible thanks to sponsorships from Skyward® business partners. Each booth is staffed with knowledgeable representatives who are happy to offer advice and solutions that will modernize your district and help you achieve a new level of efficiency. Be sure to stop by their booths – it’s like having a K-12 shopping center right at the conference! You'll enjoy the nice haul of freebies after making the rounds at the vendor booths.
