Panama TESOL 40th Annual Convention 2026
Celebrating 40 Years Impacting ELT in Panama
For four decades, Panama TESOL has been a meeting point for English language educators, academic leaders, institutions, and ELT professionals committed to excellence in English language teaching. Since its founding, Panama TESOL has created opportunities for learning, collaboration, innovation, and professional growth, positively impacting thousands of teachers and learners across Panama and beyond.
In 2026, we proudly celebrate 40 years of impact, connection, and professional development, and we invite you to be part of this historic milestone.
