LAK22 Sponsorship Prospectus
The Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) is the largest global community of researchers and leaders exploring the role and impact of analytics on teaching, learning, training and development across the higher education and K-12 sectors.
The 12th Learning Analytics and Knowledge conference (LAK22) organized by SoLAR in conjunction with the University of California, Irvine will be a fully virtual event from March 21 to 25, 2022. LAK attendees include internationally recognized leaders and researchers in Learning Analytics, Deputy Vice Chancellors, Presidents, Chief Technology Officers, Deans, Vice Provosts, doctoral students, and instructional technologists. Again, this year there will be a Practitioner’s and Corporate Analytics track highlighting the impact that Learning Analytics is having in the real world.
In addition to LAK, SoLAR offers an annual Learning Analytics Summer Institute (LASI) to provide an intensive training event for graduate students and staff new to the field of learning analytics. Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Silver Sponsors automatically become sponsors and enjoy benefits of LASI22 to be held 13-17 June 2022 fully virtual in partnership with the University of British Columbia.
Participating in the LAK conference is a unique opportunity for your organization to:

- Interact with other participants and build innovative new partnerships
- Showcase products and services to international leaders in the learning analytics and educational data mining
Last year’s LAK conference had over 600 participants from 40 countries and we are projecting at least the same number again this year.
