Event Description

   THE POWER OF LANGUAGE, THE JOY OF TEACHING
 
IMPORTANT UPDATE
We're excited to announce that same-day registration will commence on Saturday, February 24th at 5:00 AM. Please note that registration will promptly close upon reaching capacity each day. Friday same-day registration is unfortunately closed as all spots are filled. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. 

It is ITBE’s mission to support strengthening all levels of instruction and research in the teaching of English to speakers of other languages and in bilingual education through the promotion of scholarship, the dissemination of information, and advocacy, in cooperation with other groups and organizations having similar concerns. To accomplish this mission, ITBE hosts an annual convention every year in the last week of February. In 2024, our convention will be held on February 23 and 24 in Sheraton Lisle/Naperville Hotel. The theme of this year's convention is The Power of Language, The Joy of Teaching.

For our 2024 Annual Convention, we are partnering with the Virtual Event Platform, Whova, to give our attendees increased opportunity to interact with each other, our exhibitors, and our presenters. All who register will have access to this platform starting a month before the event, available on mobile and desktop!
