"DREAM is the best conference I’ve ever attended. The energy is palpable and positive, and even in the challenging times we’re facing now, it reminded me why we do this work."

"All sessions that I attended were very valuable. Presentations were based on practical experiences where best practices were shared. Presenters were dealing with current issues that we are grappling with, such as the use of AI in the class, demystifying AI as a tool that students use for plagiarism."

The deadline for all sponsorships is Jan. 8, 2027.
