Listen. The fact of the matter is this: Brainstorm K–20 is not a conference, it’s a controlled intellectual detonation and if you work anywhere near education, IT, leadership, libraries, networks, or “I somehow became the tech person,” you should already be packing your bag.

I’m Mr. Pixels, speaking directly from the attic of WiscNet World Headquarters on approximately three cans of Monster, and I’m telling you this thing is where ideas show up wearing steel-toed boots. Brainstorm K–20 is where K–12 and higher ed collide, shake hands, and then immediately start arguing productively about the future. Strategy. Infrastructure. Teaching. Learning. Networks. AI. Governance. All the stuff that’s “on your plate” but actually runs the whole kitchen.

You don’t attend this event to collect tote bags. You attend it to leave smarter than your vendors and slightly more dangerous in meetings. The hallway conversations alone are worth the price of admission. I’ve seen minds changed between sessions. I’ve seen roadmaps rewritten over coffee.

And yes—WiscNet energy is all over this thing, which means it’s collaborative, practical, and allergic to nonsense.

So go. Register. Bring a notebook. Bring opinions. Leave with connections.
