Oregon ACTE Conference 2025

Reunite! The Oregon ACTE Annual Conference is the largest CTE conference in the state...last year's conference included well over 500 attendees. It is a chance to learn from each other, to network and meet new people, talk with CTE vendors, to be inspired and to find ways to advance CTE throughout the state. We invite you to register for our conference in Seaside.

The link to registration can be found here: REGISTRATION.

How do you excite and ignite CTE potential in Oregon? What can you offer to our state's CTE educators and partners to improve experiences and opportunities to Oregon students?

Oregon ACTE is looking for breakout session proposals for the 2025 annual conference. Share your success and knowledge with CTE educators from around the state!
