IDEAcon Call for Proposals Open!

IDEAcon isn't just a conference; IDEAcon is an experience. From daily thought leaders in the areas of education and DEI and Accessibility to hundreds of sessions to evening social events that truly make you feel like you're part of the IDEA family, IDEAcon is a conference you won't forget, for all the right reasons.


We encourage any and all educators to consider submitting a proposal. Last year’s event brought smiles, laughter, learning, and a sense of community for many educators. Let’s continue this momentum and connect, celebrate, and achieve once again in 2024.
