2026 Badge Summit

Ready to turn skills-forward momentum into an integrated, repeatable program—supported by a coherent digital credentials approach? This roadmap sprint is a working session for education technology leaders and implementers who have started skills-forward efforts and want to scale them across the institution through durable processes, interoperable systems, and consistent credential practices. Participants will map their current state through a rapid readiness exercise, then build a practical roadmap using a proven sequence: Evaluate → Plan → Implement → Iterate—including the key decisions, stakeholder alignments, and systems touchpoints required to sustain scale.  


We’ll translate common scale-breakers into concrete actions—clarifying ownership, connecting workflows across teams and platforms, strengthening credential consistency and quality, and making progress measurable and repeatable—so skills-forward work becomes part of how the organization operates. You’ll walk away with clear next steps and a draft roadmap to accelerate execution—high-energy, highly interactive, and focused on what you can implement next.
