Netsweeper Returns to MAEDS Fall Conference 2026 

Netsweeper is pleased to return to the MAEDS Fall Conference 2026, bringing our education technology solutions to one of Michigan’s leading gatherings for K-12 technology professionals. 

Taking place October 28–30 at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan, the conference brings together educators, administrators, technology leaders, and IT professionals from across the state to explore the technologies and strategies shaping the future of K-12 education. 

For Michigan schools, technology is now a critical part of teaching, learning, communication, and student safety. Netsweeper looks forward to connecting with Michigan K-12 technology leaders to discuss how schools can create safer, more manageable digital learning environments. 

Addressing Digital Safety in Michigan K-12 Schools 

Students have access to more online content, applications, AI-powered tools, and digital platforms than ever before. While these technologies create valuable opportunities for learning, they also present new challenges for school technology teams. 

Schools need to balance open access to educational resources with appropriate safeguards against harmful, inappropriate, or distracting content. 

School web filtering remains an essential foundation, but today’s K-12 environment requires a more comprehensive approach to digital safety. 

School Web Filtering Built for K-12 Education 

Netsweeper’s nFilter provides intelligent school web filtering designed to help K-12 schools manage student internet access while supporting learning. 

Using AI-driven content classification and granular policy controls, nFilter helps schools manage online content across a wide range of categories and languages. 

For Michigan K-12 technology teams, nFilter provides greater control and visibility across school networks, managed devices, and BYOD environments. 

Key capabilities include: 

  • AI-driven web content filtering 
  • Granular policy and access controls 
  • Support for BYOD and diverse device environments 
  • Multi-tenant management for districts 
  • Detailed reporting and visibility 
  • Flexible deployment options 
  • Support for CIPA and other education technology requirements 

Beyond Web Filtering: Proactive Digital Safeguarding 

Web filtering helps control what students can access, but it does not tell the whole story. 

A student may search for concerning information, communicate about a personal crisis, or demonstrate other digital signals that warrant attention without necessarily accessing a website that a traditional filter would block. 

onGuard adds another layer of protection by helping schools identify potential risks in student online activity and bring concerning signals to the attention of trained safeguarding professionals. 

Rather than replacing the judgment of school staff, onGuard is designed to help them focus their attention where it may be needed most. 

Together, the solutions provide complementary layers of protection: 

nFilter helps control access to harmful or inappropriate content. 
onGuard helps identify potential student risk. 

Supporting Michigan K-12 Technology Teams 

For school IT and technology leaders, managing the digital environment involves more than maintaining connectivity. Teams must consider student online safety, appropriate internet access, AI, BYOD, evolving online threats, policy enforcement, and visibility across increasingly complex school networks. 

The MAEDS Fall Conference 2026 provides an opportunity for Michigan K-12 technology professionals to explore these challenges alongside peers and technology providers. 

Netsweeper helps schools take a layered approach to digital safety by combining intelligent web filtering with proactive digital safeguarding.
