Supporting the Advancement of Learning Stories in America (SALSA) proudly announces the 8th National Learning Stories Conference taking place online on Saturday, October 4, 2025. 

This year's virtual gathering will feature a series of thought-provoking and inspiring workshops designed to spark new ideas and strengthen practice. The conference will be highlighted by a keynote address from the dynamic duo Nick Teronnes and Mike Browne, co-hosts of the acclaimed Napcast podcast. Renowned for their engaging conversations and fresh perspectives on equity, early childhood education, and community building, Nick and Mike bring a powerful combination of humor, authenticity, and deep insight to inspire, challenge, and energize participants as they reflect on their work and envision new possibilities.

Together, we will explore the many ways Learning Stories serve as beacons of hope, guiding educators in diverse contexts as they nurture meaningful relationships with children, families, colleagues, and school communities in a shifting world.

All recorded workshops will be available to view for 30-days after the conference.
