ROOTED IN SERVICE. GROWING IN IMPACT.
May 6, 2026 
Experience Showcase Day in a whole new way. Due to construction, each district is limited to a maximum of 5 attendees. Superintendents are encouraged to bring a small team to explore the programs and services Region 7 ESC offers for the 2026-2027 school year. Split up, connect with staff, ask questions, and gather ideas to support your district.
Enjoy a continental breakfast, lunch from Papacita’s, a soda bar, coffee bar, and time to connect and learn. We’re also introducing a new way to win district discounts at Showcase Day and you won’t want to miss it.
Wear your district shirt to show your school pride, or dress professionally if you plan to take advantage of the complimentary headshots available during the event.
Each district may bring 5 attendees. Please make every effort to register by Wednesday, April 22.

Attendees will have the opportunity to receive a complimentary professional headshot during Showcase Day. These photos are great for district websites, staff directories, email signatures, LinkedIn profiles, and other professional materials.

How it works

  • Headshots will be available during Showcase Day on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • A quick sign-in will be available at the event to help manage the queue.
  • Each session takes about 1–2 minutes to allow as many participants as possible.
  • After the event, participants will receive a link to view and download their photo.

What to wear

  • District or campus logos are welcome.
  • Solid colors and simple patterns photograph well.
  • Business or business-casual attire works best.
