63rd Financial Literacy & Economic Education Conference

September 27-28, 2024

Thank you to all of the teachers that joined us in Cleveland on September 27-28 for our 63rd Financial Literacy and Economic Education Conference! It is always great to see teachers from across the nation gather to share ideas on how to bring economics and personal finance into their teaching.

At the Conference, teachers had an all-access pass to over 45 sessions led by experts in the field, including hands-on workshops, lectures, and roundtable conversations. The overwhelming feedback from attending teachers was that our Conference is an excellent opportunity to earn fall CEUs, network with like-minded teachers, bring back high-quality resources and lesson plans to their school, while also exploring all that Cleveland and the surrounding area had to offer!

Join us next year for our 64th Financial Literacy & Economic Education Conference in New Orleans on October 17-18, 2025. Mark your calendars! We look forward to seeing you there!
