6 answeredAnnual Conference 2026 starts on October 4, 2026.
It takes place at the Chattanooga Marriott & Convention Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The stated audience includes independent school leaders, heads, and trustees.
The program lists 32 breakout sessions across four learning journeys; no attendee total is provided.
It is most useful for heads of school, trustees and other senior leaders at independent schools, since the three keynotes come from Tessa Forshaw, Rebecca Winthrop and Muriel Wilkins and the breakouts total 32 sessions grouped into four learning journeys. Classroom teachers and public school administrators would get less from it, because the event is organised by SAIS and is aimed at independent school leadership rather than at subject-level teaching or district work.
School heads and trustees at regional association conferences usually wear business casual or business professional, with blazers common and more relaxed dress on the last day.
