AMPLIFY: Inclusion, Learning, Place is the 22nd Annual Learning Environments Australasia Conference and is hosted by the Victorian Chapter in Melbourne on the 15 - 17 May 2024.

The conference theme is 'AMPLIFY: Inclusion, Learning, Place.' The focus of the theme is to spotlight voices that seldom take centre stage but still contribute significantly to quality education and design. We are delving into the role and reality of inclusion and access in learning environments, examining what students need for the greatest benefit in their learning experience, and exploring how to create spaces and places that welcome everyone, providing a sense of belonging and support to each student.

Learning environments encompass all the places where humans learn, from early learning centers through to tertiary facilities and beyond, including art galleries, museums, and libraries. AMPLIFY will be held in Melbourne at CENTREPIECE from May 15 to May 17, 2024, hosted by the Learning Environments Australasia.
