The Applied Learning Conference (ALC) is the brainchild of SIT and reflects the university’s ongoing efforts to highlight the value and importance of applied learning. Through this conference, SIT aims to bring together international and local experts to contribute to the evolving discourse of applied learning on various fronts.

The fourth Applied Learning Conference (ALC 2023) concluded on 20 & 21 July 2023 at Marina Bay Sands. Themed "Advancing Applied Learning and Competency Development in the Digital Age," ALC 2023 seeks to bring together thought leaders and practitioners from across the globe to:
