Here’s how the updated FETC Top EdTech Products awards program will work:
• Education technology solution providers are invited to submit proposals for consideration via this link.
• All submissions must include a 5-minute video explaining and/or demonstrating the product. After assessment by a panel of expert judges, the winning education technology solutions will be named “Top EdTech Products of the Year.” These products will be recognized in District Administration® magazine and on districtadministration.com as well as at the Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) 2025 in Orlando.
Companies will be divided into two categories: Startup and Midsize/Large. For this contest, we’re defining a startup as a company that has existed for two years or less with revenue under $1 million. To be considered, startups must have a working website. Midsize is defined as a company with up to $50 million in annual revenue, and large is over $50 million in revenue.
The entry fee is $149 for Startups and $199 for Midsize/Large companies. Entry fees must be paid at submission and are non-refundable.
• A special Early Bird discount of $50 per entry will be in effect for those applicants who submit their entries between April 1 and June 30.
The companies with the highest-rated education technology solutions will be featured on the District Administration website and in promotional conference materials and join the exclusive list of education technology companies to be recognized at the Future of Education Technology Conference Jan. 14-17, 2025, in Orlando.
They will also receive a Top EdTech Product Winner 2025 official digital logo for use in electronic communications and press materials as well as a winner’s banner to display at FETC 2025 and at all other shows and conferences throughout the year.
