The Society for Experiential Education (SEE) is pleased to share details for the 55th Annual Conference, taking place Sunday, October 25 – Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Savannah in beautiful Savannah, Georgia.
This year's theme, Experience Matters: 55 Years of Impact, Innovation, and Community, explores how community-engaged, work-integrated learning, and research create high-impact experiences.
