VELA Con in Action: The Movement Is Real

Join us in Washington, D.C.

VELA Con is back! We can’t wait to see you at our 2nd annual national conference for bold founders who are building a future where families and founders own their education.


This high-energy, three-day event brings together the leading network of education founders in the country—the VELA Founder Network! Connect with hundreds of peers who are crafting their own paths and building independent, sustainable businesses that are redefining education.


Tickets are $200 and include access to all conference events: welcome reception, panels, workshops, cocktail and dinner reception, and meals throughout the event. Hotel stay is a separate fee.

VELA Founders receive an 30% discount on their first ticket. (Check your email for your exclusive discount code!)
