Eddy Bear is the official mascot of the Educators Rising Conference. This big, fuzzy bear loves students and teachers, and he wants to celebrate with you!

Each day, we will choose a host chapter for Eddy. That chapter will spend the day showing Eddy the conference activities. Eddy is big and lovable, and he can’t help attracting attention. He loves the paparazzi, so be prepared to take a lot of photos. Post your photos on social media and the Educators Rising Conference app, and your photos may appear in Conference Daily.

Eddy sighting pictures are great, too. You won’t be able to miss him as he passes through hallways, sits at lunch, and attends sessions with his host chapter. He might even take part in Friday’s Lip Sync contest.

Make sure you’re actively using the conference app so your chapter can win the chance to spend the day with Eddy Bear.

If you want to take the Eddy Bear experience home with you, visit the conference store to purchase a mini Eddy. Mini Eddy is just as cute as the original, but he’ll fit in your carry-on bag.
