Welcome to the most exciting week of the year in lifelong learning!
Sessions To Light Up Your Program
Our field is changing rapidly now. The next three days feature the latest, most advanced, practical how-to tips and strategies in the field on marketing, programming, management, finance, digital promotion and more.
Our conference makes you money. Take home tips for a big ROI.
Just One Tip
Just one tip can make your program thousands of dollars. Carolyn Madzar of Marlborough, MA said she got a tip at last year’s LERN conference that made her an additional $1,800 in profit twice a year from just one class. That would be more than $10,000 over three years; not just in more income, but pure profit.
New! Roundtables 3:00-3:50 pm Today
Roundtable discussions on a variety of different topics will take place in the Holiday 4-6 ballroom today from 3:00 – 3:50 pm. If you want to set up and lead a Roundtable topic discussion, it’s not too late. Just sign up at the Registration desk.
New This Year! People’s Choice Awards
In addition to our normal judging and awards, this year you get to pick your favorite brochures, programming, marketing, management and website nominations. All the nominations are on posters. We even have a ballot box to put your votes in.
New! Conference Notebook
Our new conference notebook gives you a place to keep your notes, plan your top ‘to do’ actions following the conference, and take home:
- The State of Lifelong Learning for 2017
- LERN Forecasts for 2017

Every session good, but okay to walk out
Every session in the conference is good. But not every session may be right for you and your program.
If, after the first 10 minutes, a session is not meeting your needs, simply get up and go to another. We’ve got plenty of advanced, practical sessions for you.

Tough choices
The biggest complaint from conference participants: too many good sessions to choose from. We like that “complaint.”
If the session is filled
Sit on the floor, or attend another terrific session. We have plenty of other great sessions.
New! Sessions
We have 14 new concurrent sessions today, and 18 classic favorite sessions.
