Thank You for a Successful 2025 Conference!

The 2025 ELLI Conference Planning Committee would like to thank all the the individuals and groups who made the 2025 Conference a success! Special thanks to the participants who braved the inclement weather to attend, the planning committee members and volunteers who assisted with all the conference tasks and duties, the guest speaker, Dr. Tim Neuman, the conference sponsors, and the Discovery Park of American staff who did an excellent job of facilitating the conference with room set up and event planning. The planning committee is committed to providing educators and students with a teaching/learning venue to showcase their work, creativity, and talents, and this year's effort was outstanding.
