About EDTalks
EDTalks is a biennial speaker series event that brings education's greatest thought leaders to Duval County to share a thought-provoking message about the future of education with hundreds of educators and community leaders. The proceeds from this biennial event help ensure that every student walks into school with the same opportunity to succeed. Your support helps close the opportunity gap for low-income students and students of color by piloting and helping scale best practices in public schools.

Experience the inspiration of EDTalks by watching the video below. In 2019, the event celebrated JPEF’s 10th anniversary and served as the official launch of the School Leadership Initiative, JPEF’s strategic initiative to support principals in Title 1 elementary schools, which serve a large proportion of students in poverty. Attendees heard from Dr. Tony Wager, the bestselling author about preparing students for success in the 21st century workplace with skills in critical thinking, creativity and collaboration.
