32nd Annual MicroSociety Conference
From Independence to Innovation, Let Freedom Ring
#MicroCon2026
Join us in Philadelphia, July 13–15, 2026, for the 32nd Annual MicroSociety Conference—a landmark gathering of education innovators.
Coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, this year’s convening will celebrate the enduring spirit of freedom and the power of young citizens to shape a better future through innovation, leadership, and enterprise.
At its heart, MicroSociety is about connection and community—the driving forces behind meaningful, grassroots education. This conference will provide the breathing room for educators to connect deeply, share wisdom, and imagine what’s possible when students lead in communities driven by purpose. Together, we will focus on a tangible goal: increasing student engagement and attendance by making learning come alive.
Join us in Philadelphia—where freedom was declared, and futures are imagined.
