Our mission is to fuel a growing movement of innovators harnessing the power of emerging technology to expand access to participatory, playful, and creative learning. We offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities for organizations to demonstrate their commitment to connected learning while aligning with their goals and initiatives. CLS was first convened in 2018 <https://2018.connectedlearningsummit.org/>, launched as a merger between three community events with this shared vision and values: the Digital Media and Learning Conference <https://dmlhub.net/conference/index.html>, the Games+Learning+Society Conference <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games,_Learning_%26_Society_Conference>, and Sandbox Summit <https://www.pgpedia.com/s/sandbox-summit>. The hosting and stewardship of the event has continued to evolve in tandem with the changing conditions of the global pandemic. The UC Irvine’s Connected Learning Lab <https://connectedlearning.uci.edu/> and MIT’s Scheller Teacher Education Program and Education Arcade <https://education.mit.edu/> were the founding hosts of the event. As we have moved online and become a more international event, we have expanded our roster of partners and hosts.
