ACMHE Conferences

The ACMHE conference is an interdisciplinary forum for all aspects of scholarship and research on contemplative approaches in higher education.

We are honored to have convened 11 ACMHE annual conferences. Based on feedback from participants and a changing conference landscape, we are moving to a biennial conference model. This means that the conference currently slated for November 2020 will not be held until 2021. Stay tuned for more information on the 2021 ACMHE conference!
