Annual Conference

About the Conference

For three days in Midtown Manhattan, world language educators gather to reinvigorate their practice and network with like-minded professionals. Participants choose from nearly 200 learning opportunities and events, including workshops, professional learning sessions, roundtables, and more. Explore our Vendor Exhibition Gallery to see what's new in language education, learn from the ACTFL Teacher of the Year in our General Opening Session, and take part in the exchange of ideas with language teachers working in everything from kindergarten to postsecondary classrooms.
