NDATL is Celebrating 25 Years of Innovation and Leadership with NDCEL!
This year is special for us at NDATL as we mark our 25th anniversary. To celebrate this milestone, we've decided to do something different: we're joining the 2025 NDCEL Fall Conference!
Instead of hosting our own event, we'll be part of this incredible gathering that brings together over 400 educational leaders, including principals and superintendents. This is an unparalleled opportunity for our technology directors to connect with colleagues across the state and for us all to celebrate a quarter-century of innovation and leadership.
We can't wait to mark this significant occasion with all of North Dakota's educational professionals.
