The Connection Conference is the largest career and technical education conference in the state and one of the largest in the nation. Each year, the event attracts over 1,000 education and industry professionals from more than 100 school districts and organizations.

The 2025 conference boasted approximately 300 sessions, onsite teacher certification by the Arizona Department of Education, and exhibitors from across the United States showcasing the latest and greatest technologies and resources for CTE educators.

Though the event is held in-person, we also use the ACTEAZ Conference App so attendees, presenters, exhibitors, and sponsors can interact and network with one another.
