There are many conferences around the country concerning "Teaching and Learning" topics. For those interested in attending workshops that discuss teaching issues, this page suggests some of the more interesting to attend.
The International Lilly Conference on College Teaching is one of the nation's most renowned conferences presenting the scholarship of teaching and learning. For over thirty years, teacher-scholars from across the U.S. and internationally have gathered annually the weekend before Thanksgiving to share innovative pedagogies and discuss questions, challenges, and insights about teaching and learning. Opportunities to meet and talk to the presenters are provided at topical breakfast, luncheon, and dinner tables, receptions, and breaks.
In past years, many deans and chief academic officers have supported the attendance of a team of their faculty at this conference, as reward and recognition for an outstanding teacher, as encouragement for a junior faculty member, or as an opportunity for the team to bring new teaching and learning ideas back to campus. Institutions planning Teaching and Learning Centers have found the Lilly Conference an excellent place to meet and "scout" some outstanding teacher-scholars.
There are also other Lilly Conferences around the country that are not as large as the Oxford event. For more information contact the CETL office or go to their website Lilly Conference .

The International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (ISSOTL) serves faculty members, staff, and students who care about teaching and learning as serious intellectual work. The goal of the Society is to foster inquiry and disseminate findings about what improves and articulates post-secondary learning and teaching.
Each year the POD Network sponsors an annual conference that attracts both experienced and novice practitioners in the fields of faculty, instructional, and organizational development. The conference also appeals to administrators, faculty, teaching assistant developers, graduate students, publishers for the above audiences, and members of many higher education organizations. The "spirit of POD" is an integral part of conference planning with particular attention paid to creating a collegial and welcoming environment, respecting diversity in all its forms throughout the conference, and offering sessions and informal opportunities for dialogue that address the needs and concerns of the broad range of post-secondary institutions that POD serves. Always informative, educational, and helpful, our conference is also fun.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is the systematic, scholarly inquiry into student learning which advances the practice of teaching.
The conference brings together people engaging in SoTL and anyone wanting to improve student learning outcomes in higher education today. The conference epitomizes that college teaching is intellectual work that is enhanced both by disciplinary scholarship and the scholarship on teaching the disciplines (SoTL). The SoTL Commons Conference is a catalyst for learning, conversations and collaborations about SoTL as a key, evidence-based way to improve student learning.
The Annual Conference on Distance Teaching & Learning is recognized internationally for the quality and integrity of its program. Each year the conference provides an exchange of current resources, research, and best practices from around the world that are relevant to the design and delivery of distance education/training.
