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 40th 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:

• The Headliners: Instructional Design & Innovation
• Open Mic, Open Minds: Accessibility & Digital Inclusion
• Backstage Pass to Policy: Public Policy & Advocacy
• The ID Set List: K–12 Distance Instruction
• The Digital AI Groove: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education
• The K-12 Playground: Gamification & Immersive Learning
