A banner titled “Conference Contexts” displays six circular icons, each representing one of the guiding ideas for BCCE 2026. From left to right: Building and maintaining communities of practice – represented by a network of connected dots. Centering authentic phenomena – represented by a magnifying glass. Educating for a sustainable future – represented by a globe with a thermometer. Engaging in scholarly teaching – represented by a graduation cap. Fixing systems, not people – represented by a gear. Integrating technology effectively – represented by a computer chip. Each icon alternates in color between pink and teal, with bold black text beneath each.

Big changes are coming to poster sessions at #BCCE2026.
Posters will be shared online in advance with short videos, followed by a two-week window for discussion. Optional in-person sessions will still happen at UW–Madison.

More ways for the #ChemEd community to connect. More ways to be heard!
A promotional graphic titled “Poster Sessions” with the BCCE 2026 logo and a QR code. The graphic announces that posters at BCCE 2026 will be presented in a hybrid format to support both in-person and global remote participants. Key points include: all posters (with short summary videos) will be submitted to ExOrdo before the conference; attendees can engage with posters online for two weeks; and in-person presenters can participate in themed poster sessions on Monday and Tuesday of the conference (July 27–28, 2026). The design includes teal and magenta accents and an icon of a presenter pointing at a poster board.
