The only ELT event you need to attend this year
Find out why
What is the theme this year?
The theme this year is “Analogue Minds, Digital Times“.
How can teachers create measurable learning impact in a world saturated with technology?
The conference focuses on the human side of progress, such as presence, connection and empathy, that turn lessons into learning. In our usual combination of workshops, talks, panel discussions, demo-lessons and networking in the garden, we’ll look at how to ignore tech or use it purposefully while keeping people at the heart of the classroom.
Who is the InnovateELT conference for?
The InnovateELT conference is for you if you are passionate about the ELT industry and you are keen to be more involved in discussions about how to make a difference. The theme this year is “Analogue Minds, Digital Times“ and we are expecting professionals from all areas of ELT to join us in learning more about the future of the ELT classroom. Delegates can include (but are not limited to):
-
- Language school managers
- English as a foreign language teachers
- Teacher trainers
- EdTech professionals
- Materials writers
- Authors
What type of sessions will I be able to attend?
We aim to provide engaging sessions in a variety of formats. As an attendee of the InnovateELT conference, you will be able to attend four different types of sessions:
- Dynamic workshops (45 minutes)
- Demo lessons with real students (45 minutes)
- Panel discussions (45 minutes)
- Informative talks (30 minutes)
- Mini plenaries (10 minutes)
The conference will have three pathways: teaching, teacher training and management/ teacherpreneurship. Delegates will be able to focus on one area or dip into a mixture of sessions. This will be a great opportunity to delve into many toolkits, whatever context you are working in.
What else can I expect at the InnovateELT conference in 2026?
The InnovateELT conference is different to many other ELT conferences around the world. As well as providing inspiring sessions related to the world of English language teaching and learning, we also pay special attention to the people who have taken the time to join us (yes, you!).
As a attendee, you will be made to feel welcome and you will find connecting with other delegates is easy and hugely enjoyable. We encourage collaboration and we listen to our delegates as well and share our own thoughts.
You will be provided with plenty of opportunities to enjoy our sunny garden, as well as our spacious and modern classrooms. Snacks, coffee and tea will be available throughout the event to provide you with the well-needed fuel to keep you going.
By the end of the conference you will feel like you have gathered plenty of ideas, activities and inspiration to take straight back into your own workplace.
Join us, and find out for yourself!
Can I be a speaker at this event?
Last chance to submit your talk proposal here. You can apply to do just a plenary, or a plenary and one other session.
We are looking for proposals which reflect the theme this year (“Analogue Minds, Digital Times”). This could be, for example, a new ELT product which is being developed, a teaching or training technique which has proven to work wonders, or innovative practices in leadership and management. There are four different formats available:
- Dynamic workshops (45 minutes). We encourage the use of materials and group/pair work in these sessions.
- Demo lessons (45 minutes total). We will provide about 8 intermediate students for you to teach. Delegates will observe you teach the students for about 20 minutes, after which you facilitate a discussion of the lesson with delegates and students in groups and together as a whole group.
- Informative talks (30 minutes). The session will be a presentation with some opportunity for audience Q and A.
- Mini plenaries (15 minutes). Your chance to speak your mind to all conference attendees! We will provide a microphone but you will have no visual aids.
Can I sponsor the InnovateELT conference?
If you have an ELT product or service that you would like to share, why not consider sponsoring the event? As a sponsor of the InnovateELT conference you will:
- Improve brand awareness for your business
- Interact directly with superusers and decision-makers
- Showcase your product or idea to people from across the ELT industry
- Get grassroots feedback from potential customers
- Make contacts with other professionals who can help take your business to the next level
We are offering one package per business which will include:
1 x table in the coffee area to engage with delegates and display your brand and products
1 x coffee break in your name where you can address delegates for up to 5 minutes
1 x post in our social media feed in the run up to the conference
