About / 01

A conference that feels like a win.

Teaching is under a lot of pressure right now, and honestly, it's not as fun as it should be. We're changing that. Vibe Shift is powered by the team at EduProtocols Plus — the folks behind CUE Rockstar and the Google for Education Summits that supported hundreds of thousands of educators around the world.

01

Modeling best practices

Presenters apply with an AI-powered feedback tool and can refine & resubmit — modeling the same iterative learning we want for students. Approved presenters attend free.

02

A thoughtful flow

We skip the traditional keynote. Mornings are 50-min Vibe Sessions. After a generous lunch we shift to 30-min Quick Fix rounds that keep the energy — and the ideas — flowing.

03

Co-create live

Bring your toughest teaching challenge. Afternoon panels build lessons on the spot — walk away with a ready-to-use plan you helped design.

Lineup / 02

Real teachers, real wins.

Our 2026 lineup is rolling out through summer. These are the first names — classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders bringing what actually works.
