It's the 31st year for the TCC Online Conference which began in 1996 out of Kapiʻolani Community College as Teaching in the Community Colleges- that first conference took place over an email listerv!
For 2026 the theme is Human by Design: AI, Creativity and Purpose in Education” for the conference that takes place online April 21-23, 2026 -- see https://tcchawaii.io/
I have been part of the TCC advisory committee for many years and am very excited to witness an infusion of energy into the planning with new leadership as the original conference planners are retiring. They deserve a rest after 31 years!

As AI reshapes how we teach, learn, and connect, the most important question is not just what technology can do, but why and how we use it. This year’s TCC conference explores the intentional integration of technology into education—emphasizing human creativity, ethical responsibility, and purposeful practice.
Join faculty, students, researchers, and education professionals from around the world as we reimagine learning environments designed with both innovation and humanity in mind. Together, we’ll ask: How do we cultivate creativity in an AI-driven world? How can purposeful design empower students and educators? And how do we ensure technology serves learning—without losing sight of what makes us human?

As a personal note, I have to say it is rather amazing that the TCC conference has been online every year since 1996, as I understood then it was all done via an email listserv, and since has been hosted in a series of technology platforms that come along since then (learn more about the history of TCC).
I met TCC co-founder Bert Kimura at a community college technology conference in the late 1990s when I was with the Maricopa Community Colleges. We collaborated to develop partnership for anyone in the Maricopa system to “virtually go to a conference from Hawaii” and was part of the conference for many years. I have gotten to participate and present numerous times over the years.
