The Kentucky Convergence Conference invites educators, instructional designers, and innovators to submit proposals for our upcoming conference. For 25 years, Convergence has been the Commonwealth’s premier crossroads for innovation. As we celebrate our silver anniversary, we aren't just looking at the tech, we’re celebrating the people who make the magic happen. Join us as we bridge the gap between digital interfaces and human connection, reflecting on years of innovation while designing the next chapter of education.  

The Welcome Reception: Human Connection & Student Engagement

Every homecoming starts with reconnection. This track explores how we foster deep, authentic relationships in online and hybrid spaces. We invite proposals that share practical strategies for building community, humanizing course design, and maintaining the "human" at the center of the digital experience.

The Archive: Innovative Design & Emerging Technology

While we honor our history, we are always building the future. This track showcases the tools and methodologies pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We are looking for "how-to" sessions on AI integration, interactive LTIs, and creative course architecture, the building blocks of our next 25 years.

The Common Room: Equity, Access, & Universal Design

Everyone has a seat at the table when it comes to learning. This track addresses strategies for supporting diverse learners and ensuring digital equity. We invite proposals on accessibility, UDL, and information literacy that ensure learners of all backgrounds feel they truly belong in our digital spaces.

The Town Hall: Navigating Change, Policy, & Strategy

From the high-level view, we see how far we’ve come and where we need to go. This track focuses on navigating the shifting tides of educational policy and institutional change. We seek proposals that offer frameworks for leadership, advocacy, and managing the complexities of modern education.

The Legacy Circle: Growth, Reflection, & Educator Wellbeing

A 25-year milestone is built on the dedication of people. This track is dedicated to the educators and professionals who have shown up year after year. Sessions focus on professional development, mentorship, and the reflective practices that prevent burnout and sustain a lasting career in education.

The Front Porch (Virtual Track)

Kick off our Homecoming celebration with our exclusive virtual track on Wednesday, November 4. We welcome any proposals that help distance learning educators and administrators move our community forward.

Who Should Submit?

Educating a student truly takes a village, and we are eager to hear from every corner of that community. We invite proposals from across the educational landscape, including Instructional Designers and Educational Technologists, Information Technology and LMS Administrators, and Academic or School Librarians. We also highly encourage submissions from K-12 and Higher Education Faculty, as well as the Student Support Professionals and Administrative Staff who keep our institutions running.
