On June 26 – 27, educators, researchers, librarians and youth-media experts will converge in Philadelphia for two energetic days of idea-sharing, brainstorming, and professional development and media in the classroom and media literacy.

Whether you’re new to the media literacy field, a veteran of it, or just curious about how to incorporate media literacy education in your own classroom, you’re sure to come away with abundant resources, personal connections, and lots of energy and ideas.
