The Original Lilly Conference on College Teaching is one of the nation’s most renowned conferences presenting the scholarship of teaching and learning. For 39 years, teacher-scholars from across the U.S. and internationally have gathered annually the weekend before Thanksgiving to share innovative pedagogies and discuss questions, challenges, and insights about teaching and learning.

The Lilly Conference welcomes all participants who share an interest in improving college teaching through evidence-based practices, including faculty and administrators at universities, four-year colleges, and two-year colleges who wish to increase student learning through effective teaching, promote interest in and enthusiasm for the profession of teaching, and facilitate communication among faculty about their classroom and online experiences. The Conference provides a scholarly forum for discussion about all areas affecting teaching and learning, and gives participants the opportunity to share proven, innovative pedagogies and thoughtful, inspirational insights about teaching.
