2023 USDLA National Conference and Award Ceremony

Dates: July 17th – 20th

The host location will be the Wyndham Orlando Resort

The Wyndham is in the famous ICON park and central to all the Orlando attractions. This is a great opportunity to catch some of the best distance/digital learning presenters in the industry and tie in a weekend of fun either prior or after the conference. To make this even sweeter – the Wyndham has agreed to honor the USDLA room rate for 3 days prior and after the conference – a no-brainer for extending your trip to beautiful Orlando!

The conference promises something for everyone:

• Opening Keynote Address
• Monday Evening Kickoff Party
• Pre-Conference Sessions
• Over 60 Concurrent Sessions
• Virtual Option for Select Sessions
• Multiple Keynotes from Industry Leaders
• International Awards Celebration
• Bill Jackson Memorial Walk/Run
• Night on the Town
• Public Policy Forum
• Closing Keynote Address

Our USDLA National Conference has long been an event where we mingle, discuss technology and learn from an audience broader than our own. Nothing can replace those live in-person interactions and conference feedback has always focused on those personal relationships made with one another.

For our 36th anniversary will be focusing on tracks that are in high demand as we continue to navigate both remote and in-person learning strategies. These tracks include:

• Micro-certifications
• Leadership tracks
• HyFlex Strategies for Success
• Student Engagement Techniques
• Professional Development for the Online Staff/Faculty
• Policy, Regulation and Governance in Distance Education
• Distance and Digital Leadership
• Ensuring Quality, Flexibility and Access (OER, Hyflex, and more)
• Innovative Techniques and Technologies
• Best Practices in Instructional Design and Learner Engagement
• Great IDEAs: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility
• What’s Next for Distance Education
