2024 Conference Cancelled
It is with regret that we must inform you that the Examined Life Conference will not be held in 2024. This difficult decision has been made due to the departure of CCOM Writing and Humanities Program Director, Katie Priske, who has accepted a new position with her family as Mom!
Unfortunately, without a conference director, we do not have the resources or capacity to organize and host the conference in 2024.
We appreciate your understanding, and while we don’t know what the future holds for tELC, we do hope to see you again some day!
