November 5-7, 2025 ☀️ Charlotte, NC

General Conference Information

Carolina TESOL is excited to invite you to Charlotte, North Carolina, from November 5-7, 2025 for the 2025 Carolina TESOL Fall Conference! This year’s conference will be held at the Hilton Charlotte Airport at 2800 Coliseum Centre Dr, Charlotte, NC 28217.  The Conference Planning Committee is pleased to welcome educators from across North and South Carolina! 

The theme for the 2025 Carolina TESOL Fall Conference is “Our Voices, Our Stories.” If heritage still speaks, what is our story? Our Voices, Our Stories, speaks to the diversity of who we are in our lived and shared experiences. As colleagues, we have stories of what works well in the classroom and beyond for language acquisition. As advocates, we have stories of change and how we can advance our profession forward to better meet the needs of those we strive to serve. As a people, we have stories of grit, resilience, and hope that illuminate our paths into our futures. Together, our resonance transcends inequities, and our counter narrative speaks truth. Come and let us communicate, collaborate, and celebrate our voices and our stories together.
