Our Vision

Our vision is that the Twin Cities region will become a national leader in providing innovative solutions for the education and training sectors. We will do this by regularly bringing together educators, academics, entrepreneurs, investors, and education industry enthusiasts in order to create a collaborative, connected and vibrant ecosystem where people across education and training disciplines can work together to discuss challenges, explore innovative strategies and implement creative and effective solutions for the global opportunities in education and training.

North Star compass emphasizes our belief that innovation happens WITH communities, not to communities. We're also inspired by "True North".

Blue"North" signals our affinity for the upper Midwest: And our resilience through the cold.
