The Administrative Leadership Conference is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2025, and Thursday, August 7, 2025, at Fort Herriman Middle School. This year, the conference is a customizable experience. Here’s how you can make the most of the event.

Plan your conference experience:
Both days of the conference will be held at Fort Herriman Middle School at 14058 Mirabella Dr in Herriman. Parking is limited on the school property, so you may want to carpool with other administrators from your building. If the school parking lot is full when you arrive, additional parking will be available at the church south of the school, or on the right side of the road surrounding the school.

Come hungry on Tuesday morning! Salt Lake Sweetery will be serving a delicious breakfast from 7:30 to 8:00 in the school cafeteria. The conference begins promptly at 8:00, so arrive early to give yourself plenty of time to enjoy a fantastic meal. A beverage service will also be provided.

We’re excited to have Mike Merchant from the Arbinger Institute as our Keynote speaker this year. His presentation notes are attached below; however, we will have some hard copies of his slide presentation available if you’d like to take notes. The keynote will be held in the auditorium, so if you plan to take notes, you’ll want to bring something to write on and with. May we suggest the binder you received at the Administrative Leadership Training?

Lunch on Tuesday will be an event in and of itself! You’ll have 90 minutes to enjoy an amazing lunch, also catered by Salt Lake Sweetery. During your lunch break, make sure you head outside for some ice cream from The Scoop. Dress for the conference is business casual, but choose your clothing wisely so that you can participate in the games that we’ll have set up outside and in the gym.

Following lunch, the conference will continue with school and department level meetings and the first of five workshops that you can attend.  You will receive an email reminder for the courses you've signed up for, as well as an invitation to join the "Admin PD Day 2025" Canvas course. Please accept the course invitation before the workshop classes begin. Each of the modules will be available to view on the day of the course.

Most of the workshops will require a laptop or tablet. Be prepared and make sure your device is fully charged! There won’t be a lot of options for charging devices in the classrooms. Check out the attached map to see where meetings and workshops are being held.

On Thursday, a beverage service will be provided beginning at 7:30. We’ll have principal-level meetings at 8:00 and additional workshops beginning at 8:15. Your 90-minute lunch is on your own. Bring a sack lunch or check out one of the restaurants in the Mountain View Village, or anywhere along 134th South. Just plan to be back in time for Workshop Session 4, which begins at 12:45.

Remember to scan the QR code to check in for the conference and for each workshop you attend. This is how you’ll earn licensure points and add entries to the prize drawing. We’re excited to see you all there!
