About
Deeper Learning begins with deeper connections across our community. Our conference theme, The New Power, recognizes that cross-sector collaborations between education, business, art and technology can lead to transformative learning for young people that fuels their passions and their purpose. Share space with regional change-makers like you who are in search of a collective experience that builds lasting connections among participants and a cadre of local facilitators, speakers, musicians and artists from the Twin Cities and the surrounding region.
We hope to bring a regional spin to the depth of dialogue, reflection, and inspiration that are part and parcel of the original Deeper Learning conference. Partnered with 4Learning, we are hosting the inaugural Deeper Learning Twin Cities at High School for Recording Arts in St. Paul, MN.
Schedule
DL Twin Cities is a collective experience rooted in radical joy and focused on connecting educators in this region. The event launches Friday, 6/10 and concludes Saturday, 6/11. Jump into Deep Dives, engage with regional educational luminaries in the den talks, or be inspired by our dynamic keynote to build the deeper learning movement in your region.

Event Health & Safety
We recognize the opportunity to gather in-person is full of emotions, questions, and might not be the option for all our deeper learners. It will be a full three years since our deeper learning community was able to gather and dive deep into workshops, dance shoulder to shoulder and share a meal. While much of the in-person experience will still have “coachella for educator” vibes, we have a commitment and responsibility to prioritize the health & wellness of all those in our learning community. All DL Twin Cities attendees, presenters, and staff will need to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated and provide the results of a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours of the event in order to attend the event in person.
