One of the most exciting parts of Virtual LitCon 2026 is LitCon LIVE on February 3—a chance for educators everywhere to come together in real time for meaningful learning, conversation, and community. While the full virtual conference gives you the flexibility to learn on your schedule, our LitCon LIVE day adds something you simply can’t replicate with on-demand content: the energy of experiencing it together.

Why Live Sessions Matter

Educators tell us every year that what they value most about LitCon isn’t just the content; it’s the connection. Live sessions create a shared space where you can be part of the moment, learn alongside colleagues from across North America, and feel that “conference buzz” from the comfort of home or school.

Real-Time Community and Collaboration

On February 3, you’ll step into sessions where the chat is lively, ideas are flowing, and participants are learning from one another as much as from the presenters. You’ll find yourself thinking, responding, sharing, and connecting with people who understand the challenges and joys of literacy education.

Direct Access to Experts

Live sessions open the door to something rare: the ability to ask literacy leaders your questions as they’re teaching. Want an example that fits your specific grade level? Need clarification on a strategy? Curious how a finding translates to your context? Live Q&A allows presenters to tailor their insights in real time, helping you walk away with practical, actionable next steps.

Timely, Responsive Content

Because live sessions unfold in real time, presenters can connect their message to the most current research, classroom trends, and participant interest. When the room’s energy shifts, they adapt. When big questions arise, they dig deeper. When a challenge surfaces across the chat, they adjust on the spot. It’s learning that moves with you—not something static or scripted.

A Day Designed to Spark Momentum

Whether you join for one session or settle in for the entire day, February 3 is designed to inspire, energize, and equip you with ideas you’ll want to take back to your students the very next morning. And of course, if you can’t make it live, recordings will be available—but we highly recommend experiencing at least one session in the moment.

Mark your calendar for February 3, 1:00 – 5:00 ET, and get ready to connect, learn, and grow with educators who share your commitment to literacy. If LitCon is the homecoming of literacy leaders, our live day is the moment everyone gathers in the same room—even if that room is virtual. Register now at https://literacyconference.org/registration/
