Save the date! The 2026 Global Training Summit is coming to San Antonio on June 24th!
Every year, MCEC’s Global Training Summit brings together educators, school counselors, military liaisons, and community partners who are dedicated to supporting military-connected children and families. It’s our biggest event of the year—and we’d love to see you there.
Future Ready. Mission Strong.
GTS is a full day of professional development, collaboration, and practical tools you can take back to your school or organization. You’ll connect with colleagues from across the country, learn evidence-based practices, and discover new resources to support the military-connected students in your community.
Whether you work on a military installation, in a school district, or with a nonprofit organization, GTS provides the training and connections that help military-connected children succeed.

The 2026 MCEC Global Training Summit series brought together educators, military and community leaders, and students for two dynamic regional events in Atlanta and Austin. Each one-day summit offered impactful professional development focused on supporting military-connected students, with sessions led by experts in education, technology, policy, and youth leadership.
Through keynote presentations, collaborative learning, and student-led discussions, participants explored innovative practices and strengthened their networks of support. The summits also celebrated excellence through MCEC’s annual awards, recognizing schools, partnerships, and individuals making a lasting difference for military-connected children.
We are grateful to all who joined us for this year’s events and contributed to their success. Explore the highlights from each summit and stay connected as we look ahead to the next chapter of the Global Training Summit!
