Teachers, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, and other supporters of financial education will once again gather together on November 6 – 8, 2026 for the 17th annual Jump$tart National Educator Conference at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado, to expand the actionable impact of effective financial education in the classroom.
The Jump$tart National Educator Conference aligns with the Jump$tart’s three strategic pillars: communication, collaboration, and support for effectiveness in financial education. With undying gratitude to our conference underwriters and scholarship providers, every K-12 teacher attends #JumpstartNEC on a scholarship that covers full registration, two hotel nights, and six conference meals. The scholarship application period will begin in April. Subscribe to our newsletter and/or follow us on social media to see the first announcements.
Save the Date: November 6 – 8, 2026
At Jump$tart, we believe that every student deserves financial education to prepare them sufficiently for their adult lives and that classroom-based financial education is critical for those students who cannot get this guidance at home. At the #JumpstartNEC, teachers learn about classroom resources that they can start using as soon as they return to school, they hear what’s new in finance and financial education, and meet fellow educators from across the country ― and many stay in touch throughout the year.
Coalition Partners and other stakeholders get a chance to exhibit their resources to an appreciative audience and to network with educators and each other.
Thank you to the 2025 Jump$tart NEC underwriters, scholarship sponsors, presenters, exhibitors, and other supporters who helped make “Together We Shine” in Boston such a tremendous success! Thank you to the amazing educators, who gave up their weekend to join us, to get the resources and information that will ultimately benefit their students. Photos from Boston and presentation materials will be posted here soon.
