Past & upcoming Conferences

mission

Each year, ICLCA hosts an Annual Conference focusing on learning center administration, research, staffing, funding, program evaluation, best practices, and an array of other practical issues in our field. Our conference includes a variety of Pre-Conference Institutes, a Plenary Session with a keynote speaker, a Welcome Reception, a Continuing the Conversation Luncheon, a Member Breakfast, over 50 concurrent sessions, exhibitors, and exciting Night on the Town options.

ICLCA conferences are well-known for friendly, tight-knit collegiality. We are an organization devoted to one audience: learning center professionals. Our annual gathering allows us to connect in ways that may be difficult in a larger venue.
