"Educators tell year after year that they return home from the Global Forum invigorated and inspired. Attendees return to their school with fresh ideas and the tools to turn them into a reality.

The Microsoft in Education Global Forum recognizes and celebrates the achievements of educators who are preparing students for life in the 21st century. Each year, the Microsoft in Education Global Forum brings together participants from the Microsoft Innovative Educators Program and the Microsoft Innovative Schools Program for an energetic, collaborative conference.
