Update on the Focus on Teaching and Technology Conference (FTTC)
We are pausing FTTC for the upcoming year as we transition to a new biennial (every‑other‑year) in‑person format. This adjustment allows us to continue offering a high‑quality, community‑centered conference experience while balancing the evolving demands on our staff and campus.
Several factors informed this decision, including internal capacity constraints, increased institutional priorities that require our team’s attention, and our commitment to ensuring that FTTC remains a meaningful, well‑supported event for educators across the region.
We look forward to welcoming you back at our next in‑person FTTC in 2027 and will share updates as planning progresses. Thank you for your continued interest and support.

FTTC does not specifically endorse any specific technology for adoption. We recommend talking to your campus academic technology office before implementing any tools that require students to create accounts or that you are loading student data or intellectual property into.
