This fall, Wisconsin Literacy will partner with the Correctional Education Association of Wisconsin (CEA-W) to co-sponsor The Forward Conference: Advancing Adult, Corrections, and Family Education, held September 27–29, 2026, at the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley in Appleton.

This combined event will bring together a broader and more diverse audience while expanding opportunities for presentations, exhibitors, and collaboration, creating a dynamic environment for learning, networking, and sharing innovative practices across Wisconsin.

A hotel block will be available at the venue, and registration will open in early May.
