The 25th MwALT Conference will be held in 2024. It will hosted by Duolingo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Thank you to the organizing chairs Geoff LaFlair and Sophie Wodzak for hosting the conference at Duolingo in 2024.
The forward-looking plan for MwALT is that Duolingo will host MwALT in 2024 and MSU in 2025. Plans can change, but that is the general idea. Visit this site for updates as time goes on.
