The details:
-
Where is it?
In 2025, TAGT was at Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, 1501 Gaylord Trail, Grapevine, TX 76051 (that’s the DFW area) -
When is it?
TAGT’s annual conference will be in early December, 2026. -
What’s the cost?
TAGT hasn’t posted 2026 registration pricing yet. Pricing for 2025’s event was up to $650 for one 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 at TAGT’s conference in 2026. I’ve actually stopped speaking at education events altogether! I focused on my video lesson website, Byrdseed.TV. We currently have triple the membership of even the national association!
You should check it out! There are hundreds (and hundreds) of already-ready-to-use video lessons. You can play them directly with your students! Differentiation that’s literally done for you. You get access for a full year. PLUS it’s quite a bit cheaper than the cost of TAGT’s conference!
