Join hundreds of adult education professionals from across Utah for AEAUT’s 2026 Annual Conference. Under this year’s theme, The Test of Time, we’ll reflect on the ideas, partnerships, and shared commitment that have shaped our field while exploring the innovations that will define its future.
About The Theme
The Test of Time
Adult education is constantly changing, but some things remain timeless: a commitment to learners, a spirit of collaboration, and the belief that education creates opportunity. Through engaging sessions, meaningful conversations, and shared learning, we’ll celebrate what has stood the test of time, embrace what’s emerging, and strengthen adult education across Utah for years to come.
