The 30th Annual ATA Beginning Teachers conference will be held in Calgary at the Best Western Premier Calgary Plaza Hotel & Conference Centre, on October 03–04, 2025. Registration opens on May 31 to teachers in their first two years of classroom teaching, and those teachers new to teaching in the province, who have not previously attended the conference. Early registration is appreciated as space is limited, and registration may close if capacity is reached.
Beginning teachers with the Calgary Board of Education are eligible to access the Staff Development Fund (SDF) for substitute coverage to attend this conference. ATA Local 38 will reimburse each attendee $50 for incidental expenses associated with attending the conference.
Please note: Substitute teachers should NOT attend the Beginning Teachers Conference but should plan to attend the Substitute Teacher’ Conference being held on 2025 October 17 & 18 at the Acclaim Hotel in Calgary - https://teachers.ab.ca/events/substitute-teachers-conference
