What the day offers

The conference will shine a spotlight on key themes for computing leadership:

  • Integrating AI tools into teaching and learning. 
  • Strengthening computing leadership and safeguarding. 
  • Exploring the latest research in computing education. 
  • Designing rich, progressive computing curricula from Early Years through to KS5. 
  • Developing inclusive technology and pedagogy, especially for SEND. 

We will be joined by an inspiring keynote line-up: Dr Fiona Aubrey‑Smith, Elizabeth Anderson and Diane Dowling, who will share insights and strategies to further your school’s computing offer. 

Who should attend?

We encourage:

  • Computing/IT leads and teachers
  • Senior Leadership with curriculum responsibility for computing
  • Directors of teaching and learning
  • Directors of digital strategy
  • SEND and inclusion leads involved in digital-pedagogy decisions
  • Anyone keen to explore AI, computing curriculum progression or leadership in computing

Whether you’re in primary, secondary, or special settings, this will be a rich opportunity to network, reflect on practice, and gather tools for the year ahead.

We look forward to seeing you there!
