Family Consumer Science Conference

Our focus for this year's event will be on supporting educators in preventing burnout and rediscovering the passion that brought them to teaching in the first place.

In today’s educational landscape, teachers face increasing pressures—rising workloads, emotional demands, and systemic challenges that can lead to exhaustion and disconnection. Our goal is to create space for honest dialogue, practical strategies, and renewed inspiration.

The UW-Stout Continuing Education and Conferences is happy to host the 2026 Family and Consumer Sciences Education Conference. This will be an in-person event.

During this conference, participants will be able to choose from multiple sessions on exciting new information in the field, as well as sessions presented by classroom practitioners with curriculum ideas to use in your classroom. We intend to provide the ability to explore exhibits with the latest educational resources and materials.
