We love getting together with our CCIRA family each year in February!

The CCIRA Conference on Literacy is one of the largest in the Rocky Mountain region.  Each year, we host incredible educators, authors, students, teachers, and vendors who remind us why literacy matters.  Join us for the largest collaboration on literacy in the region!

Reasons to Attend CCIRA’s Annual Conference:

  • Experience three days of in-depth collaboration with fellow educators from across the country in a rich literacy setting.

  • Deepen your skills in reading instruction, writing instruction, student engagement, and leadership while learning alongside leading authorities in ECE-12 education. 

  • Our keynote speakers represent a wide range of voices in education today. For the upcoming 2025 conference, we have  Katie Kelly, Towanda Harris, and Ralph Fletcher.

  • Our luncheon speakers are incredibly knowledgeable. We are welcoming Cris Tovani and Katy Anthes for the 2025 conference. 

  • Because your time is valuable, CCIRA offers a variety of choices for attending which include:

    • Full conference (Thursday-Saturday)

    • Friday & Saturday

    • Saturday only (Saturday includes breakfast)

  • Groups of teachers can register using a single invoice when their school and/or district is paying the conference fees.  (Contact Lisa at lisakahnccira@gmail.com for information.)
