2025 Annual Conference

Welcome to DEAC’s 2025 Annual Conference

Set against the stunning and rugged backdrop of the Sonoran Desert in Tucson, Arizona, this year’s conference theme, “Navigating Challenges: Charting the Way Forward,” invites you to embrace the beauty, resilience, and adaptability of this unique landscape as we explore the evolving terrain of distance education and accreditation.

The higher education community faces shifting sands and unprecedented challenges in the coming years. Much like the desert traveler relies on vision, preparation, and adaptability to thrive in a complex environment, this conference will provide you with the tools and insights you need to navigate change and chart a successful path forward.
