The ELT Conference is a one-stop event for ELT practitioners and their managers. The two-day event includes expert speakers, materials providers and the chance to connect with contacts old and new over great food and an evening reception.
The programme
The ELT Conference welcomes around 300 delegates for inspiring plenaries and over 30 elective sessions on all aspects ELT teaching and management. Delegates can explore a variety of topics, such as mental health and wellbeing, divesrity and inclusion, exams and teaching practice, time management and team performance.
Friday is designed primarily for academic managers, directors of studies, curriculum managers and others involved in course development. Saturday's programme is designed for classroom practitioners.
In January 2020 we welcomed industry professionals from Australia, Italy and Estonia as well as plenaries from George Pickering, Rachael Roberts, Silvana Richardson and Susie Dent. The event focused on the needs of teachers and their managers, with one day aimed at each group and strands on best practice, performance management and well-being.

What do delegates think?
"I really enjoy it. I like that you meet up with lots of people, the presentations are really good and the food is really nice. It's also really welcoming – this year I am on my own but I don't feel it." - Debbie Collins, ELC Brighton
"I really enjoyed it and found everything useful. The focus on mental health was really interesting and there were some really good ideas to take back." - Jo Kroussaniotakis, Wimbledon School of English
"It's always interesting – you meet a variety of people with different experiences, it's well-organised and you come away with an action plan." - Helen Cherry, York Associates
"It's been 100% useful. I've talked to people, set up meetings, exchanged business cards – it was good." - Julia Radlinger, British Study Centres
"I've come for about eight years. I enjoy it, I learn a lot, it's a really good day for reflecting." - John Watson, Into Manchester
