2027 LAPCS Instructor Development Conference

May 7 - 8, 2027

Crowne Plaza Executive Center 

4728 Constitution Avenue 

Baton Rouge, LA 70808 

The LAPCS Instructor Development Conference remains the cornerstone event you've come to know, bringing together educators from across Louisiana for a day of instructor development, networking, and professional learning. The conference will continue to feature the same high-quality programming, practical takeaways, and collaborative environment that attendees have come to expect.

New this year, cosmetology educators are invited to extend their experience by participating in the Cosmetology Educator Institute. Following the Instructor Development Conference, this specialized extension offers additional sessions designed specifically for cosmetology instructors, school leaders, and education professionals, focusing on industry-specific trends, best practices, regulatory updates, and peer collaboration.

Whether you attend the Instructor Development Conference alone or continue on to the Cosmetology Educator Institute, you'll gain valuable insights, practical tools, and meaningful connections to support excellence in career education.
