DESCRIPTION:July 12-15\, 2026\nOrlando\, Florida\, United States\nRenaissance Orlando at SeaWorld\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) will participate in the 60th Annual FACTE Conference & Trade Show\, hosted by the Florida Association for Career and Technical Education. LPI will share booth space with OpenEDG\, an Academic Partner organization. \nThis milestone event brings together 600 Career and Technical Education educators\, administrators\, and industry professionals from across Florida for networking\, professional development\, and exploration of innovative teaching practices and technologies. \nCTE and Workforce Development in Florida \nThe FACTE Conference serves as Florida’s premier gathering for CTE leaders who shape career-focused curricula and workforce development programs. Attendees include decision-makers responsible for integrating industry-recognized credentials into educational pathways that prepare students for technology careers. \nLinux and open source skills form essential foundations for technology career pathways in fields including IT administration\, cybersecurity\, cloud computing\, and DevOps. As industries continue to depend on technology infrastructure\, CTE programs play a critical role in building these foundational capabilities. \nLPI Academic Partner Program \nLPI’s Academic Partner Program aligns directly with FACTE’s workforce development mission. The program enables schools and colleges to integrate industry-recognized Linux and open source certifications into existing CTE curricula. \nKey program features: \n\nVendor-neutral approach allowing curriculum flexibility\nGlobally recognized credentials valued across industries\nLearning materials and exam delivery that integrate with existing infrastructure\nReduced implementation barriers for educational institutions\n\nThis vendor-neutral framework allows CTE programs to focus on foundational skills while giving students credentials that enhance employability without locking institutions into single-vendor technology stacks. \nConference Highlights \nThe four-day conference features professional development sessions\, a trade show\, awards recognition\, and the Teacher Showcase on July 13. The event marks 60 years of FACTE leadership in advancing career and technical education across Florida. \nVisit LPI and OpenEDG at the shared booth to explore how Linux and open source certification can strengthen Florida CTE programs and student career outcomes. \n\nEvent website:\n\nhttps://facte.wildapricot.org/60th-Annual-FACTE-Conference
