The details
- Where is it? CAG 2026 will be at the UCSB Corwin Pavilion in Santa Barbara, California.
- When is it? CAG is in late February, 2026.
- What’s the cost? CAG registration costs up to $750 per person! 😬
Which presentations should I see?
I have a whole article about attending gifted education conferences.
The key is to be specific about why you’re going. What problem would you like solved? Beware going for “more information” or “to be inspired” because you’ll just walk out feeling more overwhelmed.
What Ian Does Instead
I won’t be presenting at CAG’s 2026 conference. In fact, I’ve completely stopped speaking at education conferences! Nowadays, I work solely on my video lesson website, Byrdseed.TV. I’ve developed hundreds of ready-to-use lessons in video format that you can use directly with your students! It’s all done for you: worksheets, scaffolding, modeling, etc.
We’re now 3× larger than even the national association!
You get access for a whole year and it costs much less than a conference! I’m hoping you’ll find a huge library of pre-made lessons to be far more useful than listening to me talk about teaching.
