National Learning Communities Conference 2026

Mapping the Learning Communities Landscape

Join us in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the 2026 National Learning Communities Conference. Together, we’ll share innovative practices from across the country and explore the impacts of learning communities as a method of transforming education.

November 11-13, 2026

We know that there are many different ways to implement learning communities and many different roles required to bring them to reality. Housed in academics, residence life, academic advising, student support, student life, general education, first-year experiences, or within majors, the landscape of learning communities is dynamic and changing all the time. The National Learning Communities Conference invites you to participate in this exploration by sharing the practices, structures, pedagogies, and outcomes associated with the learning community programs you work with, and to come to learn about new roads and pathways you might want to explore.

Submit a proposal for a presentation or a poster, or just register and join us to map your own pathway through the learning communities’ landscape.
