Every fall OVPES holds its annual conference at Bergamo Conference Center just outside Dayton, Ohio. The two day conference brings together a diverse group of scholars concerned with the influence of philosophy on educational theory, policy, and practice. In addition to concurrent sessions and the presidential address, each year a scholar of merit is invited to deliver the Phil Smith Lecture. Any questions regarding the conference may be directed to the Program Chair.
