EdYOUfest was conceived by Giovanni Rottura and Chuck Sandy in the summer of 2015, with the aim of providing English language teachers with more opportunities to share their training experiences while also having fun together. After organizing numerous training and development events for teachers worldwide, it became clear that a gathering was needed that would create a space for teachers to meet, develop friendships, and foster collaboration that would last beyond the event. The name EdYOUfest, short for "educational festival," was chosen to reflect the event's focus on teachers and education professionals.
