Spring Midwest Summit 2019

The Spring Midwest Summit is a two-day, hands-on conference focusing on integrating Google for Education in K-12 and Higher Ed learning environments. All presentations will be from Google for Education Certified Innovators and Certified Trainers, and local Googley talent!

There are a lot of red sessions, but look closely, because some sessions are for more than just beginners, but the sessions can only have one color. If you click on a level you can sort sessions by level and audience too.
