Keynote speakers included Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code; Leland Melvin, engineer, astronaut and former NFL player; as well as Sean McComb, National Teacher of the Year.

FETC 2017 will be held Jan. 24 - 27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. The conference is currently accepting proposals to present at FETC 2017. Leaders interested in presenting must submit proposals at http://www.fetc.org/speak.html by April 30, 2016.
