2026 TETL Spring Summit | PROTECT
The Spring Summit brings Texas K–12 technology leaders together around a critical and timely theme: PROTECT. As cyber threats continue to evolve, this event focuses on safeguarding our systems, our data, and—most importantly—our students.
Attendees will hear from former FBI profiler Tim Pappa, who will explore the dynamics of cybercriminal behavior, with a particular focus on younger offenders and the motivations driving today’s cyber threats. Representatives from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children will share powerful insights into how children are increasingly targeted and victimized through widespread cybercrimes, and what schools can do to respond and prevent harm.
In addition, participants will gain practical tools through a dedicated session offering templates and actionable ideas for building or strengthening a disaster recovery plan, ensuring districts are prepared to respond and recover when incidents occur.
Join us for a day of learning, collaboration, and actionable strategies to help you better PROTECT your district, your teams, and the students you serve.
