The International Teaching Artist Conference is a gathering of artists who create social impact, those who work with them, and stakeholders from sectors where Teaching Artistry can be applied.

ITAC Conferences are a collaboration between a host organisation, and the
International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC). The International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC) operates year-round and is the first global network of  Teaching Artists. These events bring together the ITAC network, showcase ITAC programmes, Hubs, and tools, and work alongside the unique goals and objectives of the host organisation to create an innovative and unforgettable experience.

Up to this point ITAC conferences have happened every two years–Oslo 2012, Brisbane 2014, Edinburgh 2016, New York 2018, Seoul 2020, Oslo 2022 and Auckland 2024. We are now seeking partners to join us in bringing this important group together in new and innovative ways for ITAC9 in 2028.

We are actively inviting proposals which are innovative in format and propose new approaches to conference hosting.
