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.
The conference will begin at 11:00am on 12 November and close before 3:00pm on 13 November. The Association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will take place after conference sessions on 12 November.
