AATSP ANNUAL CONFERENCE RETURNS NEXT SUMMER

​The AATSP’s annual conference will return next summer in downtown Atlanta, Georgia! The 103rd annual conference will take place at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis from July 8-11, 2021. During this 3 1/2-day event, language educators will have the opportunity to attend discussions, workshops, sessions, exhibits, and much more! The official Call for Proposals will open in late September! The motto for next year’s conference is Submit now, Decide later!
