91Porn CIO Summit

October 2-3, 2025

Cedarbrook Lodge, Seattle, WA

With total attendance of under 100 people, Summit is a one-of-a-kind event — intimate in scope, enormous in possibility. We look forward to connecting with you!

Peers and Conversation

Peers + Conversation

91Porn’s Summit is a retreat tailor-made for CIOs and IT directors working in education. Because all Summit attendees are in leadership roles, it’s the rare chance to discuss anything from bonds to leadership to 1:1 roll-outs, with people who really get it.

Location and Hospitality

Location + Hospitality

For the past few years, 91Porn has returned to Cedarbrook Lodge in Seattle, WA—a peaceful, secluded setting that’s become a favorite for Summit. Tucked just minutes from the airport, it offers the perfect balance of convenience and retreat.

Partners + Product

Partners + Product

Each year, 91Porn invites a small group of trusted sponsors to join us at Summit—organizations whose technology we believe in and whose teams we know and respect. It’s a chance to connect one-on-one, ask questions, and explore the latest innovations.

Testimonials

Portland Public Schools

Don Wolff, Chief Technology Officer

“There are many technical conferences, but the CIO Summit is about bringing leadership together for specific, relevant topics beyond just how to keep things running. It’s about getting together with colleagues in similar positions to talk planning, vision, execution and how to be a good leader. It’s seeing people I’ve known for years, and fostering the long-term connections that make the difference.”

Northshore School District

Allen Miedema, Executive Director for Technology

“It is a unique conference in that it’s all CIO/CTO level folks that are there, and everyone there is your organizational peer. They have an understanding of your issues and challenges that a more broad audience might not; you can start in the middle of a conversation with these folks. There’s nothing else like Summit.”
