We invite you to the 50th Annual ACTEAZ/ADE AZ CTE Summer Conference, a milestone event celebrating Half a Century of Empowering the American Dream.
From July 10-16, 2025, in Tucson, we’ll unite to celebrate YOUR and CTE’s impact on student success and workforce development.
A Legacy of Independence and Prosperity
For 50 years, this conference has embodied Arizona’s pioneering spirit. Just as early settlers forged new paths to achieve independence and prosperity, CTE professionals have been preparing students with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world. We’ve spent half a century laying the foundation for a brighter future, empowering students to pursue the American Dream through career-ready education.
This golden anniversary honors the dedication of CTE professionals in EMPOWERING LIVES and strengthening Arizona’s workforce. We’ll showcase hands-on learning experiences, best practices in education and leadership, and networking opportunities that have made this event indispensable for CTE leaders across the state.
The Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa will be the headquarters.
