AEP Annual Conference 2026: 12th & 13th November

Annual Conference : Thursday 12th & Friday 13th November
Crowne Plaza, near Reading

We are delighted to be hosting this year’s Annual Conference in person on 12–13 November at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, near Reading. This year’s theme, Changing the narrative: the next chapter for educational psychology, has been chosen to align with the National Year of Reading.

As in previous years, the conference will offer a varied programme of keynote speakers, workshops, seminars, activities, and opportunities for networking. Further details, including how to submit a seminar or workshop, can be found below.

Submit a workshop or seminar 

One of the highlights of Annual Conference is bringing together EPs from across the community to share skills, experience and good practice, and to learn from one another. Members are invited to submit proposals for seminars or workshops at this year’s conference. Sessions will be approximately 50 minutes, and you are free to structure this time in the way that best suits your content.

We are particularly interested in submissions that align with the conference theme and explore areas such as: literacy and reading; promoting inclusion, diversity and equity through EP practice; artificial intelligence in education; and the impact of social media, including promoting media literacy in children and young people.

Submissions should include a title and an abstract of 200–300 words. Please submit these using the form below by noon on 5 June 2026.

Please note: Seminar presenters are still required to register for conference. Due to limited capacity, only one presenter per workshop will be guaranteed a residential place.
