The world is swiftly changing, and with each day the pace quickens. The pressure to respond intensifies. The problems we now face, and will increasingly face, require a radically different form of thinking that is more complex, more adaptable, and more sensitive to divergent points of view than traditional thought outfitted for routine and automation. The world now requires that we continually relearn, rethink our decisions, and reevaluate how we work and live. In short, the power of the mind to command itself – to regularly engage in self-analysis and self-evaluation – increasingly determines the quality of our work, learning, and lives.

Join us for the world's longest-running critical thinking conference, led by world-renowned experts on the Paul-Elder Approach to Critical Thinking – to date the most comprehensive and robust framework for the analysis, assessment, and improvement of human reasoning ever created.

A Highly Interactive Conference

We learn critical thinking by practicing it. Therefore, look forward to dynamic interactions at the conference as you work the ideas of critical thinking into your reasoning framework through discussion and activities.
Expect rich interactive sessions filled with stimulating dialogue and exercises, as well as concepts and tools you can immediately apply to your work, life, learning, and teaching. (See our  testimonials for more on what to expect.)
Brought to you by the Foundation for Critical Thinking.
