As educator burnout, high turnover rates, workforce shortages, and increasing demands continue to impact schools nationwide, the Urban Educators Expo 2026 is returning with a renewed commitment to supporting the professionals who serve students every day.
Hosted by Transitions 2 Success, the Urban Educators Expo is an annual gathering designed to provide educators and helping professionals with resources, inspiration, professional learning opportunities, wellness strategies, and meaningful connections that strengthen both individuals and the communities they serve.

This year’s theme, “Self-Care & Community Wellness,” reflects the growing need to invest in the well-being of the professionals who support students, families, and communities.
“Educators and helping professionals spend their days pouring into others,” said Karen Glenn, Founder and Executive Director of Transitions 2 Success and creator of The Expo. “The Urban Educators Expo was created to ensure they have a space where they can also be poured into, celebrated, supported, and equipped with resources that help them continue doing this important work.”

Organizers believe that supporting educators is one of the most effective ways to strengthen schools and improve outcomes for students.
“When we invest in the people who serve others, everyone benefits,” Glenn added. “Healthy educators build healthy schools. Strong schools build strong communities.”
