The stated audience includes charter school authorizers, school leaders, and public education professionals.
Seasoned authorizers mainly gain peer contact among the hundreds attending and the keynote by Shaka Mitchell of the American Federation for Children, while teachers or district staff outside charter policy will find the content narrowly targeted; session proposals have already closed, so speaking is no longer an option.
Education policy and school leadership conferences usually call for business casual, such as slacks, blouses or collared shirts with a blazer. The Gaylord Opryland is a very large resort complex, so comfortable shoes help.
