About the conference.
The Fort Wayne Teaching and Learning Conference, informally known as the Area Deans’ Conference, began in 1998. The academic deans of seven area colleges and universities had begun meeting a few times a year to share information about issues that affected them all, irrespective of differences in mission, size, or philosophy.
The growing need to understand and use instructional technology led to a decision to sponsor a conference at which faculty from their institutions could share their work. The 1998 Teaching and Technology Conference, held on the Fort Wayne Ivy Tech campus, was so successful that the colleges and universities agreed to make the conference an annual event. Since 1999, it has been held on the Purdue Fort Wayne campus.
2027 FWTLC Keynote and Plenary Speaker: Dr. Kevin Gannon
