The International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge (LAK), organized by the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR), is a 3 day research forum with 2 days of pre-conference events (workshops, tutorials, and doctoral consortium), providing common ground for academics, administrators, software developers and companies to shape and debate the state of the art in learning analytics.

The conference is held in cooperation with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in association with the ACM Special Interest Group on Hypertext, Hypermedia and Web (SIGWEB) and the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction (SIGCHI). Peer reviewed proceedings archived in the ACM Digital Library.

LAK is supplemented by Learning Analytics Summer Institutes (LASIs), hosted by partner universities around the world, (since 2013) and Learning Analytics in Practice (LAP), a 24 hour around the clock global online event. (since 2024)
