HONORING AND PURSUING EXCELLENCE
CONFERENCE
September 10 - 12, 2025
At the Marriott on Chicago's Magnificent Mile
Limited Seating
An exciting opportunity for school district leaders to learn from and share with colleagues widely recognized for achieving excellence in our profession!
Last year’s NASS conference was one of the most engaging and inspiring gatherings I’ve attended. The keynote speakers were phenomenal, offering both practical insights and big-picture vision. The breakout sessions were packed with relevant strategies that I was able to bring back and implement right away. I also appreciated the chance to collaborate with other small district leaders facing similar challenges—those connections have continued to be a valuable support network throughout the year.
~Helio Brasil, Superintendent, Keyes Union School District
I look forward to attending the NASS 2025 Superintends Conference! The 2024 Conference was one of invigoration and collaboration as we were able to sit with fellow superintendents from across the United States. This intimate setting allowed for continuous dialogue and solutions based conversations for everyone, no matter their years of experience or where they reside. Looking forward to Chicago September 10-12!
~Youssef Mosallam, Ph.D., Superintendent, Crestwood Schools
