“Get Wild About Teaching”

The 2025 Conference will be held at the Osthoff Resort in Elkhar Lake, Wisconsin. If you were at the conference in 2018, you probably understand why we are so eager to go back. If you weren’t able to attend, you won’t want to miss this beautiful oasis. The Osthoff is a AAA Four Diamond resort with tranquil views on the shore of Elkhart Lake with relaxing spa options. 

Your registration fee includes all sessions at the conference, the awards dinner on Friday, the Friday night recital, and annual meeting lunch on Saturday. Breakfasts and Friday lunch are not included.
