The Play Make Learn Annual Conference is a place for collaboration and discovery in the design, research and practice of playful learning, games for learning and positive social impact, making and makerspaces, STEAM education, research/practitioner partnerships, and arts in education across formal and informal spaces. PreK-12 educators, designers, developers, innovators, librarians, museum professionals, makers and researchers tinker together, share knowledge and celebrate one another's work. The 2027 edition moves to a Monday–Tuesday format at the Memorial Union on the UW–Madison campus. Organiser contact: conferences@education.wisc.edu.
