An Immersive Learning Experience for Superintendents and District Leaders

The DMG Summit, previously known as the Superintendents' Strategy Summit, is DMGroup’s premier annual conference that brings together forward-thinking member superintendents and district leaders nationwide for an immersive professional development experience with leading experts on key strategic topics. The Summit was established in 2004 and will be held in 2025 for the 22nd time!

Over the course of three days, superintendents and district leaders convene in a unique environment to challenge their perspectives, exchange ideas, and explore DMGroup’s latest research and insights.

Beyond benefiting from the expertise of DMGroup's subject-matter experts, the Summit provides an unparalleled opportunity for participants to share their expertise and fosters shared learning, collaborative problem-solving, and a sense of camaraderie.

Participants engage in candid, high-value discussions in a collegial environment and leave with new strategies and best practices for leading transformational improvement in their districts.
