A new and exciting way to reconnect and learn! Fresh content, affordably priced and all virtual!

May 3-4, 2022 | Virtual Conference

NEW! UPCEA Annual Conference REACH is the first of a new way to gather virtually for UPCEA events, designed to complement the onsite conference experience and offer members an opportunity to engage with each other and with critical content regardless of capacity to travel.

Features & Highlights

Deep dives into the most pressing issues facing professional, continuing, and online (PCO) education, including:
- A spotlight on alternative credentials
- A Federal Policy update
- Reflections on Hyflex and post-pandemic pedagogies
- Explorations into DEI for leaders of PCO

Includes access to four General Session recordings from the in-person Annual Conference and SOLA+R (held April 11-14, 2022).
Back by popular demand, “Conversations with Colleagues,” hosted by each of the eight UPCEA Networks (areas of practice) provide two-way, facilitated conversations on the most pressing concerns facing PCO education today.
Speed Meetings are also back—attendees can meet with oodles of other members in short, virtual conversations, expanding your networks and professional connections.
Following each general session will be a “Respond Session,” where attendees can debrief with peers and reflect on keynote speaker messages and take-aways.
