Conference in the Cloud 2025 Online
2025-07-14 - 2025-07-17
Join our 6th annual Conference in the Cloud!
July 14-17 AND September 13th, 2025
On Zoom.
Conference in the Cloud is a virtual conference organized FOR world language teachers BY world language teachers. It is 5 days full of Acquisition-Based language teaching and learning. You get to participate as a student in classes of a language you don’t speak, observe master teachers teaching students, and unpack everything you observed and more in workshops. There is coaching, social events, and lunchtime discussions. Because teachers participate from all over the world we have classes and workshops scheduled throughout the day. You can pop in and out as you please knowing that everything is recorded and available to you for six months after the conference ends.
Not available the week of July 14? We’ve got you covered! You can purchase the Recordings Only version of the conference. You will miss out on participating live in classes, workshops and discussions as well as the social events BUT you will still be able to watch amazing content at your leisure. You will have access to all recordings until January 31st, 2026.
This year, we have added a “booster day” in September to allow us the time to support you once you have started school and are trying out strategies you learned over the summer. It will give us a chance to come together again to check-in, support each other and get inspired.
