BEA2026

Some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom. Join us to share ideas that connect students, communities, and media practice.

Meet with colleagues, exchange new ideas, and help shape exciting initiatives for the coming year. These meetings are a welcoming space to build community, spark collaboration, and make your voice part of the conversation. Whether you’re a returning member or attending for the first time, this is a valuable opportunity to network with peers, share insights, and play an active role in your division’s future. We’d love to see you there.
