Educator Travel Conference: Passport to Professional Growth

 The conference is open to all educators, school leaders, instructional coaches, and education professionals.

However, families and travel companions are also welcome. 

The registration covers access to professional development workshops, conference materials, networking events, group activities, and sponsored giveaways. Cruise fare, meals, and entertainment are included through Carnival Cruise Line. 

 Workshops cover literacy innovation, Leadership, wellness, STEAM, and sustainability.  

 Certificates of participation will be provided, which you may submit to your district or professional board for credit (acceptance varies by state/district). 

Casual cruise attire is acceptable for most sessions. A Formal Dinner is held on the first night, and a Farewell Gala takes place on the final night — formal or cocktail attire is encouraged.
