Boston has proved to be an epicenter for the development of education innovation and edtech products. As a result, some of the best and brightest companies in edtech can be found here or come here. In connection with the Building Learning Communities Conference, LearnLaunch Institute will host a showcase that will feature over 30 companies, including graduates from the LearnLaunch Accelerator and other companies from the broader Boston education community. There will be pitches, demos, opportunities to play with and give feedback on edtech tools, and a chance for you to stand alongside others who care about ed innovation at this fun and inspiring reception in Boston's Innovation District.

Can your company participate?

Yes, those interested in showcasing must register, have a product that is in demo stage or beyond, be under a million dollars in revenue and be willing to receive direct feedback from attendees. Only 30 companies will be able to participate due to space.
