Education Innovation Rally 2025

This keynote celebrates a decade of bold innovation in Arkansas education—and the people who made it possible. Through storytelling, reflection, and future-focused action, we’ll explore what has changed, what still needs to, and what is possible when we lead with purpose. Because ten years in, we know the work isn’t done—and the future is ours to build.

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking panel discussion, The State of Innovation in Education, as part of the OIE Speaker Series. This panel will spotlight dynamic leaders, visionaries, and changemakers from across the southeastern United States who are pushing the boundaries of education.
Our panelists will explore critical questions such as: What does innovation in education look like today? What factors catalyze meaningful change? What barriers exist, and how can they be overcome? Through shared stories, insights, and lessons learned, we’ll uncover the inspirations that drive these leaders to challenge the status quo and create transformative learning experiences.
Whether you’re an educator, policymaker, student, or lifelong learner, this session will provide fresh perspectives, practical ideas, and a deeper understanding of the evolving educational landscape.
