Alaska ACTE 2025 Professional Development Conference Call for Presenters
Alaska Association for Career and Technical Education 2025 Professional Development Conference Call for Presenters
We are excited to announce the Call for Presenters for the 2025 Alaska Association for Career and Technical Education (AK ACTE) Professional Development Conference, scheduled to take place October 12 – 15, 2025 in Anchorage. This conference is a premier event that brings together educators, industry leaders, and stakeholders to advance Career and Technical Education (CTE) in Alaska.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Empowering Futures: Industry Collaboration”. This is a strong theme acknowledging the power of partnering with industry for innovative and ground breaking solutions that benefit career and technical education.
Presentations should align with the conference theme and focus on enhancing CTE programs. We highly encourage interactive and dynamic sessions that foster engagement and participation. We are seeking cutting-edge ideas and practices that can be applied in diverse educational settings. Additionally, hands-on sessions that allow for practical application of the subject matter are highly sought after.
The deadline for proposal submissions is August 1, 2025. We welcome workshops, panels, and individual presentations. To submit your proposal, please complete the proposal form. Selected presenters will be notified by August 31, 2025.
