About the Conference
The 29th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE) will be held July 26–30, 2026 at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. BCCE is the largest gathering of chemistry educators in the world, bringing together instructors, researchers, K–12 teachers, and education professionals to share ideas, build community, and strengthen teaching and learning across contexts.
Under the theme Reflecting Back, Marching Forward, the 2026 meeting marks the 50th anniversary of the 4th BCCE, last held in Madison in 1976. Set between two lakes, Madison provides an inspiring backdrop for exchanging practical strategies and highlighting evidence-based teaching across all levels of chemistry education.
