## Story

The 2026 Instructors Conference will be held at the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre. Keynote presentations will be made by Massiel Victoria Diaz, an instructor from Mexico recognized for enrollment and retention results, and Janani M.S., an instructor from India known for using Kumon Connect—the tablet-based digital evolution of the Kumon Method that allows students to access and complete assignments at home or on the go while enabling personalized instruction, real-time feedback and greater visibility into each student’s learning process.

During the conference, attendees will participate in sessions on assessment practices, student achievement, Kumon Connect technology and continuity planning. The program aims to provide practical insights and best practices for operating centers and supporting students.

"For more than two decades, Entrepreneur magazine has recognized Kumon as a leading education and tutoring franchise, reflecting our continued investment in the success of our owners," said Angelo Chavez, assistant vice president of franchise development at Kumon. "We are committed to providing Instructors with the training, technology and resources they need to build successful centers and make a meaningful impact in their communities."

The conference will also recognize franchisee achievements through awards.

"Opportunities like this are rare in franchising. Bringing together hundreds of small business owners in one place to learn, collaborate and grow not only strengthens individual centers, but also reinforces entrepreneurship on a broader scale. The Kumon Instructors Conference is a powerful example of what meaningful franchisee support should look like," Chavez said.

Kumon provides support from initial inquiry through ongoing operations, including training, corporate guidance, lease support, and center build-out assistance. This includes resources to help with center setup and ongoing growth. After opening, field representatives remain available to answer questions and support ongoing growth.
