The flagship event for qualifications and assessment professionals will take place at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Milton Keynes on 26 and 27 November 2026.
We now know much more about the change agenda in England, and the direction of a Burnham Government will be emergent by November �C including its response to the Milburn Review into Young People and Work. The Conference will be focused on unpacking key change themes and helping Awarding Organisations to develop their response.
The main hall sessions will focus on: the Milburn Review; The consequences of the Technical Qualifications reforms in England; the Impact of Devolution on Skills; AI; and building operational capability. All delegates will gain insight, understanding and ideas from expert and varied speakers and panellists.
These will be complemented by a choice of three Focus Sessions, where delegates will be able to explore current issues and themes with thought leaders, policy-makers and challengers. Organised around 6 themes (Technical Qualification Reform; Quality Control and Compliance; Apprenticeships; AI; Direct Sales; and Young People), delegates will be able to follow occupationally-based pathways and exposed to new ideas and thinking, as well as best practice.
The Conference is also the Sector��s unique annual networking opportunity, where you can reconnect with colleagues, establish new contacts, mix with regulators and policy makers, and explore the latest industry developments through an unrivalled technical exhibition and live demonstrations.
