The MOREnet Annual Conference 2026 is coming to the St. Charles Convention Center in St. Charles, Missouri, November 2–5, 2026. This year’s conference theme, “Looking Back and Moving Forward,” celebrates 35 years of connecting Missouri educators, technology professionals, libraries, and communities.
For school technology teams, the conference is a great opportunity to learn about emerging technology, connect with other IT professionals, and explore practical solutions for managing the technology that keeps classrooms running.
What to Expect at the MOREnet Annual Conference
The 2026 event will bring together technology directors, network administrators, librarians, educators, and other education technology professionals from across Missouri. The conference will feature educational sessions, networking opportunities, and an exhibit hall featuring technology providers and industry partners.
With technology playing an increasingly important role in education, topics like device management, cybersecurity, digital learning, and technology sustainability are especially relevant for today’s schools.
iResQ President Nick Crosby to Present
We’re excited to share that Nick Crosby, President of iResQ, will be presenting at the conference. His session will focus on Chromebook repair curriculum and device repair, offering practical insight into how schools can build repair skills and develop sustainable approaches to managing their Chromebook fleets.
Nick’s presentation will highlight the growing opportunity for schools to bring more device repair knowledge in-house, including the training, processes, and hands-on skills needed to support school-owned technology. For districts looking to reduce downtime, extend device lifespans, and give students real-world technical experience, this is a topic worth adding to your conference schedule.
Why Device Repair Matters for Schools
As schools continue to rely on 1:1 devices, keeping those devices operational is an important part of technology planning. Repair isn’t simply about fixing a broken screen or replacing a battery, as it can also help schools extend the useful life of their existing technology and reduce unnecessary replacement costs.
The MOREnet Annual Conference provides an opportunity to have conversations about these challenges with other professionals who understand the day-to-day realities of managing educational technology.

Whether you’re managing hundreds of Chromebooks or looking for ways to strengthen your school’s repair capabilities, we’d love to talk about how repair can become a bigger part of your technology strategy.
