Marcraft is excited to be part of ACTE’s CareerTech VISION 2025, the premier event for career and technical education (CTE) professionals, taking place December 10–11, 2025, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. This annual conference brings together educators, administrators, and industry leaders to share ideas, explore innovations, and strengthen the future of CTE across the country.
