PACIE 2024 Annual Conference – Philadelphia, PA

For more than 50 years, PACIE has worked to strengthen international education across the state. Join us in Philadelphia at the 2024 PACIE Conference: Foundations for a Global-Ready Future, to network, share resources, and enhance your skills, all towards advancing global learning throughout the Commonwealth.

Now more than ever, students must develop global competencies and cross-cultural skills to serve them in their future careers. How do we as educators build these opportunities into teaching and learning? How do we provide a foundation for lifelong global learning?

As the birthplace of the U.S., the first U.S. World Heritage City, and as the site of a new initiative, the Global Philadelphia Higher Education Hub, Philadelphia has long been essential to global learning within Pennsylvania.

PACIE looks forward to coming together for another inspiring and engaging conference, and welcomes a range of perspectives as we learn from and with each other.
