The Innovative Learning Conference

Every two years, educators and innovators from around the world convene at the Nueva School for the Innovative Learning Conference (ILC) to discuss and share ideas about many of the most challenging, critical issues facing education.

The biennial ILC provides meaningful resources and inspiring direction for educators, researchers, parents, and students. The conference uses a broad range of topics to provide innovative learning strategies for all learners and educators.

Nueva hosted its first ILC in 2007 to gather thought leaders from around the country and share insights and research from innovative institutions with the broader educational community. Since then, the ILC has grown to feature more than 75 speakers and attract more than 1,200 attendees from around the globe.
