- This year's conference theme is Shaping the Future of Literacy: 2020 Vision. Join us in Columbus, OH, as we imagine what the field of literacy education could look like 10 years from now—and work together to forge the path from where we are right now to where we need to be.
- Did you know that Columbus is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and home to a 32-room discount book store, a 32,000-square-foot immersive art installation, and a public garden with more than 12,000 roses? You can also explore German Village, botanical gardens, an urban oasis, and more. Bring your appetite to North Market, which features dozens of delicious dining options, and save room for dessert during your visit, such as legendary ice cream, gigantic cream puffs, and iconic Buckeye Donuts!
- Start planning your trip with information on our Transportation and Travel pages. If you're coming from outside the United States, be sure to read our International Travel page.
