Thursday, September 25th at 8:00am - 2:30pm in Columbia, SC

The future of South Carolina schools will be shaped by the leaders who come together to share ideas, innovate, and act. Join South Carolina district leaders and Panorama Education for this free, in-person meetup designed to spark collaboration, surface real solutions, and drive student success at every level.

This full-day event will spark collaboration, highlight what’s working, and help teams make real progress on their biggest challenges—from ensuring on-time graduation and climate improvement to MTSS and intervention systems. You'll also explore how AI-powered tools and actionable data can help translate measurement into meaningful change.

Why join?

🔹 Connect & Collaborate – Network with SC district leaders who are leading real work across MTSS, student success, and school improvement.

🔹 Explore What’s Working – Hear strategies for delivering effective interventions, reducing absenteeism, improving graduation outcomes, and responding to what your data is telling you.

🔹 Put AI to Work – See how AI can save time, streamline workflows, and amplify your impact, without sacrificing privacy and security. 

🔹 Turn Insight Into Action – Discover how to use climate surveys, data tools, and team learning to create better experiences for students and staff.

Where is the meetup? Hilton Columbia Center, 924 Senate St, Columbia, SC 29201

Who should attend? District and state leaders focused on MTSS, graduation, instructional technology, and school improvement in South Carolina. We recommend attending with 2-5 teammates to maximize the day’s value and team reflection. 

"This was a great reminder that we are all facing the same dilemma in our schools and there is no clear answer to "fix" it. The journey is different for each of us so it is beneficial to hear from other districts what is and isn't working for them." - Dallas Meetup attendee
