Instructional design is the ultimate remix — sampling what works, remixing what doesn’t, and dropping new tracks for today’s learners.
The 2026 AIDN UnConference invites you to spin fresh ideas from familiar practices, experiment with emerging tools, and collaborate like a creative jam session for designers. Together, we’ll build a mixtape of strategies that blend innovation, sustainability, and real-world solutions. Join us to remix your workflow, amplify your creativity, and co-create the next track in instructional design!
