Our USDLA National Conference has long been an event where we mingle, discuss technology and learn from an audience broader than our own. Nothing can replace those live in-person interactions and conference feedback has always focused on those personal relationships made with one another.

For our 39th anniversary will be focusing on tracks that are in high demand as we continue to navigate both remote and in-person learning strategies. These tracks include:

• Backstage Pass to Policy: Navigating Governance and Regulation in Distance Education
• The Headliners: Distance and Digital Leadership on the Higher Education Main stage
• Open Mic, Open Minds: Ensuring Quality, Flexibility, and Access in Online Learning
• The Digital AI Groove: Exploring Innovative Techniques and Technologies Education
• The ID Set List: Curating Best Practices in Instructional Design
• Amplify Every Voice: Ensuring Accessibility and Inclusivity in Online Education
• The K-12 Playground: Curating Best Practices in the K-12 Space
