We’re excited to announce the Earwig Ambassador's National Conference 2026, a flagship summer event designed to bring together school leaders, SEND professionals, and educators from across the UK for two days of collaboration, learning, and inspiration.
This national conference is built around a simple but powerful idea: sharing best practice between schools to improve outcomes for pupils while reducing staff workload. It offers a rare opportunity to step away from daily pressures and spend time with peers who understand the realities of SEND and specialist education.
A National Gathering for Real-World Impact
The Earwig National Conference is a two-day event focused on countrywide idea sharing, making it open and relevant to schools from every region . The programme is designed to balance strategic thinking, practical workshops and meaningful networking, ensuring delegates leave with ideas they can implement immediately.
Delegates can expect:
CPD-Accredited Professional Development
All attendees will receive a CPD certificate, recognising the professional learning and development gained through the conference experience . This makes the event not only inspiring but also a valuable addition to staff development records.
Learning, Networking — and Time to Unwind
Beyond the formal conference sessions, the national event is designed to encourage relationship-building and informal knowledge sharing. The programme includes a drinks reception, three-course dinner, and a dedicated networking activity, creating space for relaxed conversation, reflection, and collaboration .
These moments often prove just as valuable as the formal agenda, helping school leaders build lasting connections and supportive professional networks.
