The Transformations Conference
Since 2013, Transformations Conferences have connected minds worldwide, from Europe to South America, the United States to Australia. These gatherings are more than just opportunities to share content; they serve as transformative spaces for action researchers and reflective practitioners. In 2021, the conference also introduced a virtual format, and in 2023, the “Partnerships for a Better Future” conference in Sydney expanded with additional hubs in Prague and Portland. This event featured over 250 sessions, 700 attendees from over 40 countries, and insights from 400 organizers and presenters. Explore past conferences to learn more.
