The Leadership Collective:
ISTE + ASCD Orlando 2026

Two global leaders. One curated journey. Join senior EdTech and instructional executives for an exclusive series of private adventures designed to spark innovation in the heart of Orlando.

Curated Connection in the City of Stories

ISTE and ASCD are where the world's educators gather, but the real breakthroughs happen in the quiet moments between the sessions. We’ve designed a "Choose Your Own Adventure" series that brings together the tech-forward vision of ISTE and the instructional leadership of ASCD. No crowded convention halls—just high-value networking in Orlando’s most exclusive venues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "Choose Your Own Adventure" Experience?
It is a series of hosted, private events during ISTE/ASCD Week. Instead of a one-size-fits-all party, we offer a menu of "Adventures" — from intimate roundtable dinners to late-night social jams — allowing you to build an itinerary that matches your goals.
Who is eligible to attend?
Our guest list is curated for senior leadership: CIOs, CTOs, Superintendents, and Directors of Curriculum. Every request is personally reviewed to ensure a balance of technical and instructional perspectives.
Is there a cost?

No. All experiences within the Collective are fully hosted by TORSH. Guests are responsible for their own travel to Orlando and conference registration.

How do I secure my spot?
Browse the available Adventures below, select your preferences, and submit a request. Due to the intimate nature of our venues, space is strictly limited.
When will I receive venue details?
To maintain the privacy and exclusivity of these events, exact locations are only shared with confirmed guests via a digital "Adventure Pass.”
