Calling All Creators: The IAACE 2026 Conference Logo Contest Is Here

Something magical is brewing, and we want you to help bring it to life.

IAACE is excited to announce the 2026 Conference Logo Design Contest, inviting members, adult learners, educators, and supporters across Indiana to help shape the visual identity of our next conference. This conference year’s theme sets the stage for wonder, connection, and transformation:

Together, We Make Magic

🪄 The Big Idea

Adult education is full of quiet miracles and bold transformations. A first credential. A new career path. Confidence sparked where doubt once lived. This contest is your chance to capture that spirit in a logo that reflects the heart of IAACE and the magic created when our community comes together.

The winning design will become the official logo for the IAACE 2026 Conference, held at the beautiful Belterra Resort, and will appear across conference materials, promotions, and on-site experiences.

Design Inspiration

We encourage creativity in all its forms. Logos may be:

• Whimsical or mysterious

• Subtle or striking

Visual ideas might include sparkles, light beams, keys, cards, wands, illusions, or other magical symbols that represent:

Originality is key. Please avoid copyrighted characters or imagery.
