We bring together the leaders and innovators in adult education to learn from each other and advance our collective impact. Join us.
CONFERENCE 2024
We are passionate about leading the adult literacy field to the best practices for program and student success. This is why every two years we host our national conference to share the latest instructional trends, up-to-date research, and expert-led panel discussions on policy and innovation to influence practice and build program capacity.
The ProLiteracy Conference on Adult Education brings together a diverse range of individuals from organizations of all sizes to address the most pressing adult literacy and basic education issues today.
Stay tuned for information and announcements about our next event in 2026!
PAST CONFERENCES
Over 400 champions for adult literacy landed in Baltimore for four days of professional development, networking, conversation, and idea sharing to advance adult literacy nationwide.
Keynote speaker Van Jones declared literacy as the superpower that unlocks every other superpower. He spoke about the interconnectedness of literacy and social justice, applauding adult literacy practitioners for changing the world.
We honored exceptional programs, instructors, and students for their achievements, and spent time listening to and learning from each other.
Our 2024 conference left us inspired.

By building the capacity of the smallest community-based basic education programs to the largest workforce development organizations, ProLiteracy can support adults at every stage of their literacy journey. We support every program with what they need to go all the way.
