Call for Proposals: Let’s Make Magic Happen at IAACE 2026

Dear IAACE Community,

There’s something special that happens when passionate educators, advocates, and innovators gather in one place. Ideas spark. Connections grow. And just like that… magic happens.

We’re officially opening the Call for Proposals for the IAACE Fall Conference, taking place September 30 – October 2 at Belterra Resort—and this year’s theme says it all:
Together, We Make Magic Happen.

This is your moment to step into the spotlight and help create the kind of breakout sessions that leave attendees energized, inspired, and ready to take action. Whether you’ve led sessions before or this is your first time considering it, your voice, your ideas, and your experiences are exactly what make this conference unforgettable.

We’re looking for sessions that:

• Ignite new thinking
• Share practical strategies
• Celebrate successes (and lessons learned)
• Strengthen our adult education community

Each breakout session is a chance to turn everyday work into something extraordinary. What’s working in your classroom, program, or organization could be the spark someone else needs.

Ready to share your magic?

Submit your proposal here:
https://iaace.com/callforproposals2026/

You’ll find all conference strands and strand leads outlined on the submission site to help guide your idea.

Deadline to submit: June 5

Don’t wait until the final hour—great ideas deserve time to shine.

Let’s fill this conference with sessions that inspire, challenge, and connect us. Because when we come together with purpose and passion, something powerful happens.

We don’t just attend a conference.
Together, we make magic happen.

With excitement,

Jenn & Strand Leads
