Being a Montessori leader is challenging and often lonely..
It has been five years since we last came together as the Lead Montessori international community, and so much has changed. The world feels more fragile than ever, and the role of education has never been more vital.
Do you recognize the impact of your work on the future of your community? As Montessori leaders, we carry great responsibility - but we cannot pour from an empty cup. Just like on an airplane, we must put on our own oxygen mask first before we can truly support and uplift others.
Leadership can be isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Taking time to reconnect, reflect, and recharge is not a luxury - it’s a necessity.
Together, we will explore the following topics:
Navigating Uncertainty
Strengthening Community
The Evolving Role of Education
Leadership Well-being
Inspiration & Innovation

A ten-minute tram ride to the Old Town, Mama Shelter Hotel will offer you a conference home just outside the crush of tourism, while remaining plugged into the city’s beating heart.

Do you want to join us as a speaker?
We invite Montessori leaders, educators, and experts to contribute to this year’s conference by submitting session proposals. Whether you have insights to share through a keynote speech, an interactive workshop, a World Café discussion, or a peer learning group, we welcome your ideas.
Sessions should focus on the real, pressing challenges faced by Montessori leaders today—such as leadership resilience, school sustainability, team management, and adapting to a changing world. This is an opportunity to share your expertise, inspire your peers, and be part of a collective effort to strengthen the global Montessori leadership community. If you have a topic or experience that could support and empower fellow leaders, we encourage you to apply!
