# Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT) Conference #### calendar\_today Date and Time **September 25, 2026** All day #### pin\_drop Location **David Rubenstein Treehouse** **Save the Date!** The **2026** [**Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT)**](https://hilt.harvard.edu/) **Conference** will be held at the David Rubenstein Treehouse in Allston, MA on **Friday, September 25, 2026**. The annual conference convenes faculty, staff, students, and other Harvard affiliates to explore how we can make teaching and learning at Harvard more engaging, rigorous, and relevant. **We’re trying something new — Call for Proposals (CFP) due June 12** Our hope is for the 2026 HILT Conference to carry forward the [momentum of last year’s approach](https://hilt.harvard.edu/event/2025-hilt-conference?occ_id=0), which explored a wide range of timely topics in higher education, rather than focusing on a narrow theme. We want to surface and showcase a variety of approaches and hear from a wide range of voices. **We need your input and expertise to help us design a compelling program**. We invite **Harvard‑affiliates** to [submit proposals](https://qualtrics-auth.tlt.harvard.edu/a/bb21074a-6113-441e-ae3d-c3b47e22d688) that include: - New or experimental pedagogical approaches - Creative uses of technology in support of learning - Strategies for addressing current challenges in higher education - Approaches that can generalize across disciplines and contexts - Cross‑School and cross‑role collaborations - Suggestions for compelling plenary speakers The **Call for Proposals (CFP) survey opens Monday, May 4, 2026**, and the **submission deadline is Friday, June 12, 2026**.
