AG Bell is thrilled to announce that the 2026 AG Bell Global Listening and Spoken Language Symposium will return live and in person in Arlington, VA. We are excited to welcome people from all over the world to learn about best practices in Listening and Spoken Language development.
What’s Changing?
We will offer a live, in-person meeting at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA. We are bringing back the opportunity for you to connect with colleagues, network, meet with vendors, and explore beautiful Virginia.
We are excited to build an interactive exhibit hall, where attendees can mingle with one another and form those connections often missed in online programming. Details on how you can support this in-person experience will be available soon.
What’s Staying the Same?
For those who are unable to travel, we will still offer an On Demand version of the Symposium from July to September 2026. However, the live Symposium will not be broadcast virtually.
You can still earn CEUs for both the live and on-demand versions.
Our exceptional education program will remain unchanged, featuring NIH-funded keynote speakers, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, support for multiple languages, and a proceedings document that highlights the research of our keynote presenters.
