“I have attended both conferences and I love that they are virtual with the option to rewatch the recordings. The topics have all been very pertinent to me as a first-year principal. I like that the sessions are less than an hour and easy to digest. They contain things I can take away and put into practice the very same day.”

Built Different: The Summer Leadership Conference

Join the TPE Virtual Summer Conference—two days filled with practical strategies, honest leadership conversations, and Build With Me sessions that help you design the systems your school needs before the new year begins.

Because the best schools don’t run smoothly by accident. They’re built intentionally—by leaders who take the time to step back, think ahead, and put strong systems in place.

This conference is designed to help you do exactly that.

What You’ll Walk Away With

You don’t need another conference full of theory or inspiration that fades by Monday. You need systems—practical, tested tools that make leadership clearer and schools stronger.

After two days at Built Different, you’ll walk away with:

• Clarity — a leadership plan that helps you prioritize what truly moves your school forward next year.

• Systems — tools like a behavior data dashboard, leadership calendar, and data trackers you can actually use with your staff.

• Confidence — strategies for leading change, supporting teachers, and navigating tough leadership moments.

• Community — connection with principals who understand the work and are building schools with intention.

• Built Tools — through our Build With Me sessions, you’ll leave with real systems already started for next year.

• Earn 12 PD hours while building strategies you can take back to your school immediately.

What makes this conference different?

Most conferences give you ideas. This one helps you build the systems behind great schools.

At the Built Different Conference you’ll experience:

✔ Practical leadership sessions from experienced educators
✔ Panels built around real questions from principals
✔ Build With Me workshops where you create tools for next year
✔ Strategies you can use immediately in your school

This conference is designed for principals who want to lead with intention — not just react to the day.
