ISKME inaugurated and runs the EdForum to provide the educational community in the San Francisco Bay Area with a regular, on-going opportunity for sharing ideas face-to-face about effective educational improvement. It is the only Bay Area forum that brings together education leaders, practitioners, board members, business leaders, and innovators to share and collaborate on effective knowledge management strategies and practices for the improvement of education.
