Greetings, valued producers of educational content! 

This year’s event will be held November 4-5, 2026, entirely online. The AI has assured us that this format remains optimal for the continued entertainment of our audience.

Earn the chance to share your most effective strategies, innovative solutions, and hard-won technical expertise by submitting a proposal. Proposals must be submitted by 5:00 PM CDT on Friday, September 18, and accepted session hosts will be notified within two weeks of the deadline. 

Select a track below and help us create a conference experience that earns rave reviews from viewers across the galaxy as they watch our crawlers learn!

  • Party Up: Share strategies, partnerships, and success stories that help us form stronger parties, coordinate across guilds, and conquer challenges together.
  • Summoning Tools: Reveal AI companions and productivity-enhancing powers. Showcase the tools, techniques, and automations that helped you clear your toughest encounters.
  • Sage Advice: Not all wisdom comes from interstellar sponsors. Sessions supporting research, scholarship, and academic innovation belong here.
  • Core Stats: Your infrastructure isn’t flashy, but neither is dying because you dumped Vitality. Sessions on foundational IT services, security, reliability, and core competencies.
  • Skill Trees: Every great quest starts with the right skills. Showcase tools, platforms, and practices that empower instructors, support student success, and open new paths for teaching and learning.
  • Dungeoneering: Master the map. Share lessons learned navigating administrative processes, deciphering ancient bureaucracy, and finding the fastest route from quest assignment to completion. 
  • Unlocking Achievements: Share accessibility practices and solutions that remove barriers and improve the experience for every crawler. 
  • Random Encounters: The system could not classify your proposal. This is either very good or very concerning.

If you’re not sure about the track (or how to nerd the title up), you can always reach out to the committee for help.

Now, get out there and submit a proposal!
