#IWLA24 HighLights

Our 2024 IWLA conference was held on October 4-5, 2024 at DMACC Ankeny Campus. It was fantastic to connect and reconnect with world language educators.

Presenters are still adding their shared materials to our folder, and and we will send it out via email soon! The QR code provided in the conference program will also get you there.

Check out our IWLA Facebook page or follow our X account to see pictures that we shared during the event. Make sure to tag #IWLA24 in any that you share so others can find them!
