Mark your calendars and plan to join us April 29^th – May 1^st for ATL + WACC 2026!

• This conference is a 2 ½ day virtual event bringing together Washington’s most beloved annual conferences—SBCTC’s Assessment, Teaching, and Learning (ATL) Conference and the ELC’s Washington’s Canvas Conference (WACC)—to explore the intersections of assessment, teaching, learning, and technology.
• This year’s theme, “Heart. Mind. Community.” focuses on supporting one another, growing together, and building a stronger human-centered working and learning ecosystem. Come engage with colleagues from across the state and leave with fresh ideas and practical strategies that make a difference for students—and the people who serve them.

Why did we merge?

• Planning a statewide conference takes significant time and resources. Merging ATL and WACC lets us pool effort, lower costs, reduce attendance barriers, and strengthen connection across our system.

What can you expect?

• Inclusive Access. We’re keeping the conference online to ensure participation is accessible and affordable for everyone.
• Streamlined Registration. We’re offering user-friendly registration to save time, money, and paperwork.
• Deep Dive Sessions. We’re planning focused pre-conference sessions for deeper learning on selected topics.
• Hot Topics. We’re digging into key topics in Higher Education—Exhaustion & Burn Out, Inclusive Pedagogy, Generative AI, and Digital Accessibility.
• Inspiring Keynotes. We’re featuring high-quality speakers with timely, Washington-relevant topics and practical takeaways.
• Community Connections. We’re developing virtual and in-person opportunities to connect and network.

We’re committed to you!

• Continuous Improvement. We’re committed to learning from your feedback and annually refining the conference to meet your needs.
• Inclusive and High-Quality Learning. Our goal is to deliver meaningful, engaging, and accessible learning and networking opportunities for all participants.

All,

We have just posted the recordings from the 2023 WACC conference. All are fully captioned and should be accessible to you with the exception of the Cidilabs Presentation, which is available but not yet captioned. All recordings are organized alphabetically within their track – Keynote Addresses, Accessibility, Equity, Flex Mode, Open Educational Resources, Other, Pedagogy/Andragogy, and Technology.

The recordings can be found here, or simply navigate to WACC Recordings –> 2023 Conference Recordings from the home page.

Register today!

Greetings attendees (and potential attendees).

The schedule for WACC is linked below. There may be a bit of juggling or adjusting before the conference, but this should be pretty close to a final version.

We have a great conference planned, including session tracks on technology, equity, pedagogy/andragogy, and everyone’s favorite track – “other”. (Actually, the “other” tracks look pretty cool. I might meet you in one of them).

In addition to the fabulous sessions, we have two great keynote speakers, a Canvas Roadmap session, where Instructure gives you a sneak peek of what you can expect from Canvas in the future.

Finally, don’t forget the social aspect. Now that we are all let out of our houses, this is chance to reconnect with old friends, make some new friends, buttonhole that super presenter you were so excited by, and network with your peers from the CTC system and beyond. In addition to the breakfast, lunch, and extended breaks, we’ve got a social hour planned for Thursday after the conference. Look for updates on entertainment and noshing opportunities in the near future.

We’ll send updates out, but also add information on our FAQ page, such as the best swag ever (at least it better be – I browbeat a committee to choose them).

If you haven’t registered yet, here’s that link one more time. Looking forward to seeing you!

March 30^th – 31^st at Renton Technical College
