Edtech Week 2026 was hosted at Teachers College at Columbia University, 525 W 120th St, New York, NY 10027.
The organizer lists edtech leaders, practitioners, researchers, funders, and founders.
Growth-stage companies across PreK-12, Higher Ed, and Workforce were billed as competing for national visibility and access to leading investors and strategics. The organizer also lists edtech leaders, practitioners, researchers, funders, and founders.
It was most useful for edtech founders, investors and funders who wanted face time with capital and policy people, since speakers were scheduled to come from Owl Ventures, Robin Hood, Strada Education Foundation and the U.S. Department of Labor, alongside Anthropic and OpenAI staff. Its split across PreK-12, higher ed and workforce, plus an expo and a campus venue at Teachers College, suited generalists mapping the sector; classroom teachers wanting hands-on pedagogy training would have gotten less from it.
Edtech crowds in New York usually wear smart casual, such as chinos or a blazer over a casual shirt, with comfortable shoes for subway travel and campus walking in mid-October.
