The details:
- Where Is WAETAG in 2026? Washington’s annual gifted conference is at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue located at 900 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, WA 98056.
- When? The event is in October, 2026.
- How much does it cost? Prices haven’t been announced yet for 2026.
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 WAETAG in 2026. I’ve actually stopped speaking at education events altogether! I’m focusing my video lesson website, Byrdseed.TV. We currently have triple the membership of even the national association!
What’s Byrdseed.TV? Imagine hundreds (and hundreds) of already-ready-to-use video lessons. You can play them directly with your students! It’s differentiation that’s quite literally done for you! And for a price that’s not much different from a conference. Do check it out.
