Join the Sora and TeachingBooks teams in the Mile High City! ISTELive 24, one of the world’s most comprehensive edtech events, is June 23-26 in Denver, CO – and we can’t wait to see you at Booth #1524!

There’s always a ton to do at a conference as large as ISTE – from sessions, to exploring the show floor and everything in between. But we hope you’ll take some time to stop in on the Sora + TeachingBooks booth to pick up some swag, attend a partner presentation and give your feet a break by sitting down for a chat with our team!

What are some challenges you’re facing in your school, and how can we help address them? Are there some new Sora solutions that can help make it easier for you save time and budget delivering reading to your entire student community, for both curriculum and pleasure reading? (We certainly think so!)

No matter what’s on your mind, we’d love to discuss – and if you schedule a meeting in advance, it’s even easier to get face time with a Sora rep!

Or maybe you’re looking for new strategies for success with digital books, already tried and tested by educators just like you. Then you’ll absolutely want to sit in on one of our in-booth partner presentations. Take a fifteen minute rest, learn something new and earn a chance to win a prize at the end of each session just for showing up!

Check out a preview of each session below, then head over to the Sora + TeachingBooks ISTELive 24 hub to add sessions to your calendar, grab a map of our corner of the show floor and more.
