The Alaska Statewide Special Education Conference (ASSEC) is committed to providing high-quality professional development relevant to the cultural, rural, and remote characteristics of our great state. This year’s theme is Special Education, the Ultimate Team Sport.

ASSEC has provided ongoing professional development to Alaskan special educators, administrators, paraprofessionals, and families for more than thirty years. By inviting nationally recognized speakers, as well as knowledgeable local experts in disabilities and education, ASSEC has become a highly anticipated event in Alaska’s special education field. By supporting Alaskan special education professionals and paraprofessionals, ASSEC also provides an indirect but great benefit to Alaskan students with special needs and their families.

The conference includes two days of pre-conference meetings, on Saturday, February 6 and Sunday, February 7, 2027. Registration opens Monday, November 9.
