[Natasha Kenny]

Dear colleagues, 

 

We are pleased to announce that general registration for the 2026 University of Calgary Conference on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching is now open.

 

From April 28-30, join over 300 delegates, 7 keynote and panelist presenters and over 70 interactive sessions as we explore the theme “From Disruption to Connection: Digital Transformation in Postsecondary Education”. This year’s conference theme explores how digital communication, GenAI and other disruptions present an opportunity to renew relationships, and focus our efforts on a core principle of education—the importance of connection. Discover the incredible keynote speakers, panelists and a schedule of interactive session topics and be sure to register before the April 19 deadline.

Warm regards,

 

Natasha Kenny and D’Arcy Norman (Conference Co-Chairs)

Your time and well-being matter to me.  Please respond during hours that work best for you, and the many competing demands on your schedule.

 

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation within Alberta (Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).
