The 52nd edition contains selected professional development opportunities that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until June 2025 are most complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held after that date.

A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next.

An explanation for the content and format of the list can be found here. A Word or an OpenOffice format is used to enable people with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain abstracts or event proceedings. Consider using the “Find” tool under Microsoft Word’s “Edit” tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country “Australia” or place, such as “Vancouver” However, note that there is a Vancouver in Canada and a Vancouver in Washington State, 450 km south of the Canada/USA border. Or, enter the word "artificial intelligence" or "AI". (Note that key words such as “artificial intelligence” or “AI” may not be present in the conference title, yet these topics could be discussed during a particular conference.) Then, “cut and paste” a list of suitable events for your colleagues.

Please note that events, dates, titles, and locations may change and some events may be cancelled. Thus, CHECK the specific event website not only for basic information, but to assure yourself that the event is legitimate. Some events are not quality-focused. The author genuinely tries to compile a list of events that will give you value for your time and money. But, he may not always succeed. Take the time to conduct your own due diligence for any events you want to attend or submit a paper to. You could consider using the checklists at Think Check Attend, which "aims to guide and assist researchers and scholars to judge the legitimacy and academic credentials of conferences in order to help them decide whether to or not attend the same". Also, you may want to refer to “How to Make the Most of an Academic Conference” by Thomas J. Tobin

All Web addresses were verified at the time of publication. No liability is assumed for any errors that may have been introduced inadvertently during the assembly of this FREE list of events. Kindly retain the contact information when you re-distribute the list or mount it on the web as that is how Clayton Wright receives notices of future events.
