The AADES Biennial Conference will be held 3-4 September 2026 at the Sofitel Wentworth, Sydney NSW.
Early bird registration (at a reduced rate) is now open.
Our conference is an opportunity for distance and virtual teachers to meet, connect, share and learn together with their Australasian colleagues.
We have secured 4 exceptional keynote speakers including Doug Fisher, Louka Parry, Dr Jenny Donovan and Kirra Pendergast, with more to come. Doug Fisher will be travelling from the USA and is highly engaging leader and expert in the online/virtual teaching space. Doug will be presenting a keynote and 2 masterclass opportunities.
The program will provide a choice of 24 workshops focused on our themes Lead, Learn, Thrive. The workshops will have a practical focus and are an opportunity to share evidence informed practice from across the jurisdictions. Please consider suitable learning leaders from your school to put forward next year.
The full-program will be published early next year.
Start thinking about potential candidates for the AADES Awards that will be presented at the Awards Dinner. Nominations will open early next year.
