Join the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics for the 2026 Spring Conference, March 16–18, in New Orleans.
The conference theme draws on the concept of joie de vivre (joy of living) to inspire mathematics educators to reimagine their instructional practices, content, assessment, and technology in ways that ignite freedom and enthusiasm in mathematics teaching, learning, and understanding. With the vibrant city of New Orleans as a backdrop—a place shaped by cultural fusion, resilience, and creative expression—educators are invited to come together like a jazz ensemble: to listen, experiment, and create a new mathematical harmony.
