Join us in celebrating UDL-Con 2024!

UDL-Con: International 2024

This year, for the first time, CAST’s Annual Symposium and the UDL-IRN Summit are joining forces to create the world’s largest International UDL Convention. We are excited to bring together these two events to develop and explore how UDL can be used around the world to break down barriers to learning.

This year’s UDL-Con: International will be held online and in-person at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for addressing the educational needs of diverse and variable learners in many settings across many stages of life. It is a means to eradicate persistent inequities in education, informed by the educators who use it and their students.

Schedule now available!

Check out the UDL-Con: International agenda featuring incredible sessions from across the field of UDL. In addition to engaging sessions from UDL experts, there will be alternative session offerings such as accessibility help from our AEM Center, book signings, networking opportunities, and more!
