The International Writing Centers Association hosts four annual events to connect our members and energize writing center scholars and practitioners.
Annual Conference (every fall)
Our fall conference is our largest event of the year with 600-1000+ attendees participating in hundreds of presentations, workshops, and roundtables over the three-day event. The annual conference is a welcoming event for new and experienced writing center tutors, scholars, and professionals.The past conference archive can be found here.
Summer Institute (every summer)
Our Summer Institute is a week-long intensive workshop for up to 45 writing center professionals to work with 5-7 experienced writing center scholars/leaders. The Summer Institute is a great starting place for new writing center directors.
International Writing Centers Week (every February)
The IWC Week began in 2006 as a way to make writing center work (and admiration) visible. It is celebrated each year around Valentine’s Day.
Collaborative @ CCCC (every spring)
The one-day Collaborative is an annual mini-conference the Wednesday before CCCC (Conference on College Composition & Communication) begins. Around 100 participants select from concurrent sessions on a writing center theme. Presenters and attendees are encouraged to use the Collaborative to get feedback and inspiration on projects that are in process.
