2026 Badge Summit

Ready to turn skills-forward momentum into an integrated, repeatable program supported by a coherent digital credentials approach? This 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 exercise and then connect with peers to hear best practices for opportunities to scale.

We’ll translate common scale-breakers into concrete actions, connecting workflows across teams and platforms, strengthening credential consistency and quality, and making skills data mobile. You’ll walk away with new ideas to accelerate execution—high-energy, highly interactive, and focused on what you can implement next.
