Hi FETC, we've decided to #donatethebooth.

Hi FETC, we’ve decided to #donatethebooth.

What does that mean?

Rather than spending thousands of dollars on an elaborate setup, we’ll be donating our funds to a bigger cause based on the poll below.

Have your say

Why are we doing this?

When we committed to participate in this year’s FETC, we were excited to have a huge, epic booth. Where you are probably standing right now.

As we started planning what the booth would look like, the scope grew. Our budget ballooned. But we felt it all started to move away from our purpose as an organization.

Something didn’t sit right about spending that much money on a booth.

2022 was another year in which schools grappled with mental health concerns, learning gaps, staff shortages, and more. With FETC being one of the first educational conferences of 2023, we saw an opportunity to give back.

At FETC in 2023, we see a unique opportunity to support those working to improve the lives of students and educators.
