This year's National Inclusion and Disability Conference in Adelaide is shaping up to be our best yet — and that's thanks to you. You asked for less theory and more practice. You asked for sessions that leave you with a tangible takeaway. You asked for the chance to connect with educators who are doing this work well, right now, in real schools. We listened. The 2026 conference has been redesigned from the ground up with that feedback at its heart.
Alongside our outstanding keynote speakers — including Professor Linda Graham, Sam Brain from Deloitte Access Economics, and ACARA's Kathryn Tully — you'll find dedicated hands-on workshops, practical sessions focused on facets such as rigorously applying the Australian Curriculum to drive inclusion and adapt planning, and a fresh lineup of casual breakfast presentations where you can grab a coffee and hear directly from educators making a genuine difference in their schools and systems. This is inclusion not just as aspiration, but as practice — what it looks like, how the research has shaped it, and how you can lead it. We'll see you in Adelaide on 25 and 26 May.
