Get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience at the 2026 HBCU EdTech Summit and Career Fair, hosted by Innovation For Equity (IFE)! This year’s event is set to be bigger and bolder than ever, with dynamic keynote speakers, engaging breakout panels, and a prestigious awards ceremony honoring trailblazers in education. Join us as we dive into the theme of Designing the Future: Creativity, Ownership and Opportunity in the AI Era, where education leaders, entrepreneurs, and students will explore cutting-edge topics and engage in discussions from the role of Black communities in shaping digital futures to pathways to workforce advancement.
In keeping with IFE’s mission to cultivate and celebrate transformational leaders, the Summit features a new EdTech Innovators Showcase celebrating student innovators, start-ups, and seasoned founders designing equitable solutions that blend technology, imagination, and impact. The event also hosts a Career and Networking Fair, providing college students and early-career professionals from HBCUs the opportunity to connect with top EdTech companies hiring for internships and full-time roles, and to engage with senior leaders across the industry.
Now in its fourth year, this annual Summit leaves participants inspired, informed, and equipped to shape the future of EdTech with equity and innovation at the forefront.
