Announcing 230+ Sessions Accredited by ATPE for Continuing Professional Education Credits at SXSW EDU 2024

At SXSW EDU, you will learn a variety of engaging tools and practices that can be applied in the classroom and beyond. But that’s not all, you will also have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credits.

We have partnered with the Association of Texas Professional Educators (ATPE) to provide more than 230 accredited sessions for CPE credits. We are proud to be able to provide over 30% more accredited sessions from SXSW EDU 2023, making this our highest number of accredited sessions to date.

Qualified programming will be identified in the schedule and the SXSW EDU GO app. At the end of each CPE-eligible session, attendees may collect a code from the session room, which they can use to receive their credit. Log into the ATPE Professional Learning Portal at atpe.org to submit your code. Membership is not required and non-members can sign in as a guest to claim their credit. Have questions or want to learn more? Stop by the ATPE activation outside of Ballroom D in the Austin Convention Center to meet with their representatives.

With sessions tackling continuing education, early learning, higher education, and K-12 education, there is no shortage of professional development opportunities.
