Excellence Without Borders: Gifted Education in a Changing World

2023 Virtual World Conference
August 5 - 6 and 12 - 13

The WCGTC® Executive Committee has been monitoring the current situation in the world regarding international travel and conference opportunities. Due to the continued uncertainty of the pandemic on health and financial resources, we have decided to keep the 2023 World Conference in a virtual format.

While we are eager to meet face-to-face again to share ideas with one another, we want to ensure the conference is successful and accessible to folks around the world. We had great success with the 2021 Virtual World Conference and are excited to bring back several components of that conference and include a few new opportunities to further to enhance the networking opportunities available to our attendees.

Since the 2021 schedule offered increased access to individuals around the globe, we will continue the schedule of offering the World Conference over two weekends in staggered time zones. We will also plan a few sessions during the week in between for live discussions to go more in-depth in topics of interest. Please mark your calendars for August 5 – 6 and 12 – 13, 2023!

We will be sharing more information as it becomes available including the theme, registration costs, proposal guidelines, and keynote information. Please note that individuals from lower-income countries will receive the same pricing discounts for the World Conference registration as they do for membership.
