Clayton R. Wright has released the 34rd edition of the conference list. The list below covers selected events focused primarily on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. An online version of the Clayton’s list can be found out
The consider the following from Clayton:
Whether you re-distribute part of the list, or all 93 pages, please include the contact information as that is how I receive updates. If you prefer not to receive future lists, let me know by sending an e-mail to crwr77[@]gmail.com. Also, if there are events that I should track in the future, kindly send me the basic information – date, title, location, and URL (website address).
Do exercise your own due diligence regarding unfamiliar conferences that you may want to attend or submit a paper to. Thus, CHECK the specific conference website not only for basic information (dates and locations may change), but to assure yourself that the conference is legitimate. There has been a rise in fake and predatory academic and scientific journals. (See http://ottawacitizen.com/technology/science/the-editor-is-late-fake-science-journals-hit-new-low, http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/13/230 and http://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2013/10/30/new-scam-targets-scholars). Similarly, there are a few conference websites that are designed to obtain your paper submission and/or your money, and give you little in return.
There are unscrupulous people in any profession including conference organizers and those who promote alternative lodging for conferences (For example, see http://www.travelmarketreport.com/articles/Consumers-Risk-Their-Vacations-When-Relying-on-Online-Travel-Reviews). With more than 1,300 conferences listed, some borderline events may have been included in the attached list. Let me know if you find any (as well as provide an explanation as to why a particular conference may be suspicious) so that I can consider leaving them off the list the next time.
Yes, I have updated the list prior to January 2016 and included items in 2017 and 2018. Why? Because some of the events are biennial or triennial, so you might look on the list for them in 2016 and notice they are missing. But, in reality, they will be offered at a later date. So, please don’t eliminate the 2017 and 2018 events when you re-distribute the list as it is almost impossible to predict whether someone is looking for an annual event, or a biennial or triennial one. In addition, people who want to submit a paper to a conference and/or apply for funding to attend an event, need sufficient lead time. So, please inform your colleagues of events occurring after June 2016. As information for a number of June 2016 events was not available in November 2015, I hope I can update these events when I compile the 35th conference list in May.
