Elon University invites educators from around the world to participate in the 22nd Annual Teaching & Learning Conference, taking place August 11, 2026. This event is completely free to attend, with both in‑person and virtual registration options available. The theme is “Teaching for Tomorrow: Building Transferable Skills and Lifelong Learners,” encouraging attendees to reflect on how our teaching practices today shape students’ abilities to adapt, think critically, and thrive tomorrow.
The keynote speaker is Dr. Susannah McGowan, Director for Curriculum Transformation Initiatives at The Red House at Georgetown University where she leads institution-wide initiatives that bring educational transformation at scale in the form of student co-creation, curriculum and program design, and inclusive pedagogies.
The conference is currently accepting proposals for presentations and we would love to see a big WCU presence! If you need help with your proposal, please email April Tallant at atallant@wcu.edu.
