The 2025 CFEED Summit is right around the corner—and with a newly released agenda and a strong lineup of speakers, this year’s event promises to be our most impactful gathering yet.
Taking place on September 17, 2025 at Valencia College West Campus, the summit brings together leaders from K–12 districts, higher education institutions, and education organizations to explore how cross-institutional data collaboration is transforming student outcomes across Central Florida and beyond.
This year’s theme, “Multi-Institutional Collaboration: Using Data to Accelerate Success,” focuses on practical insights and real-world strategies that help students navigate their educational journeys—from early momentum in middle and high school to transfer and degree completion.
What to Expect
Attendees will engage in sessions covering:
- K–12 assessment slip-back trends and recovery strategies
- The Helios Transfer Scholars dashboard and grant impact
- AI applications in degree planning
- Early indicators of postsecondary readiness
- Real student data stories from across the region
The agenda also features opening remarks from Dr. Kathleen Plinske, President of Valencia College, and Dr. Mark Shanoff, Superintendent of the School District of Osceola County, as well as a midday “State of CFEED” update from CFEED Director Diana Pienaar .
In addition to engaging content, the summit includes time for networking, peer collaboration, and breakout conversations—plus breakfast and lunch for in-person attendees.
