Go On Take a Look….. So much professional learning choice!

One of the most common statements shared with us by teachers about the Annual Conference program is: ‘It is so hard to choose which workshops to attend because they are all so good’.

This is testament to the outstanding presenters who offer their expertise to help build this high-level professional learning program in support of History education.

Join us on an informative and insightful History journey and share in the unique spirit when the History teaching community comes together in person.

We are delighted to launch the full 2026 Annual Conference program booklet showcasing a rich selection of workshops, keynote speakers, sponsors/exhibitors and networking opportunities.
