Empowering Adult Higher Education
We are an organization that supports and advances adults in higher education by facilitating collaboration, sharing pedagogical practices, promoting research, and advocating for quality practices in adult learning programs.
AHEA has just commemorated 50 years of impact and innovation, and now moves forward into our next 50 years promoting adult and higher education. AHEA will host our annual conference, with a virtual conference (February 24, 2027) and an in-person conference (March 17-19, 2027). As attendees, presenters, speakers, and volunteers, you helped to create a vibrant professional learning community, building on the foundation laid by our visionary founders. We are grateful to each of you who contributed to the success of AHEA. We could not have experienced 50 years of excellence without you, and look forward to continued growth as an organization along with you! And for new persons interested in AHEA, please feel welcome in joining us as we start our next 50 years dedicated to adult and higher education! The AHEA conference offers immersive learning through active participation, reflection, and collaboration among practitioners dedicated to adult higher education, welcoming both members and non-members who share this commitment.
