KAGE Call for Proposals Open!

The Kentucky Association for Gifted Education (KAGE) invites educators, administrators, counselors, coordinators, researchers, university faculty, and advocates to submit proposals for the 2027 KAGE Annual Conference.

This year’s theme, The Road to Greatness Begins Here, celebrates the journey of nurturing talent, inspiring curiosity, and creating meaningful learning experiences for gifted and advanced learners. We are seeking engaging, research-informed, and practical sessions that inspire educators and provide strategies they can immediately implement.

Full details and link to submission form can be found here

Thanks to all who helped make our 2026 annual conference a success!
