2026 Civil Discourse Conference Sponsorship and Exhibition

The TAIS Civil Discourse Conference aims to inspire school cultures of connection, courage, integrity, and hope. This conference brings together classroom practitioners and curriculum designers from across the K-12 spectrum. Guided by national experts and network peers, attendees investigate the cognitive science and philosophies that lay the foundation for civil discourse, all while gaining practical classroom strategies and discovering school-wide programs that drive the work.

As national discourse frays, schools are called to model something better: communication grounded in empathy, integrity, and hope.

Projected Date: Mid-September 2026

Expected Attendance: 35-45

Target Audience: The Civil Discourse Conference is designed for K-12 student-facing practitioners, curriculum designers, and academic leaders.

Please note that the published date of 9/15/2026 is a projection of our intended mid-September run.
