With sponsorship from Arnold Ventures, the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP) is pleased to present Innovation Day - an interactive half-day in-person event designed to facilitate conversation between policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. Sessions will be led by moderators working in the policy space who will facilitate conversation on the topic among participants. Each session will also include a researcher with an extensive background in the topic to ground the conversation in evidence. Policymakers and practitioners will dialogue with researchers as well as with each other.
This program is limited to 50 participants, based on eligibility. There is no registration fee for accepted participants. Funding is available to cover one night of hotel for all participants. Travel subsidies are also available on a limited basis. Note that event spots are limited and priority will be given to policymakers/practitioners.
Full details and application link are available on the
