Networking

Relevant Learning for K-12 IT Staff

Be Connected is an ongoing weekly networking series focused on facilitating open discussions about pertinent topics within Illinois’ K-12 technology community.

Hosted by the LTC’s Technology Services team, each free session focuses on a specific topic and provides space for participants to ask questions and share experiences in a relaxed, supportive environment.

We also regularly welcome professional and industry experts, many with innovative perspectives and solutions your team can rely on as you work toward your infrastructure, networking, and cybersecurity goals.

Each meeting features a different core topic and a fresh opportunity to connect with your peers across the state. Tune in regularly to join the conversation and Be Connected!
