Conference/Convention

The ProLiteracy Conference on Adult Education 2027 conference will take place October 27th - 30th, 2027 at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa, Glendale, Arizona.

This centennial theme honors a century of transformative impact in adult education—celebrating the educators, learners, and communities whose commitment has strengthened the field through wars, crises, and social change. It recognizes the joy of lifelong learning, the resilience that sustains progress, and the purpose that drives adults to create better lives and stronger communities. By placing well-being and joy at the center, the theme affirms that adult education is not only about skill development, but also about human flourishing and collective renewal.
