NASS Conference 2024

We’re heading to Leeds for this year’s NASS Conference!

Join us for an enriching two-day conference where learning, sharing and connecting take centre stage. The event brings together our special school community, SEND and industry sector experts, sponsors, and exhibitors from across the UK.

This year, we are creating a programme of speakers and workshops designed to inspire and empower your schools and communities to thrive. You’ll gain insights into the latest sector updates and the potential opportunities and challenges stemming from the General Election outcome, all while benefiting from the collective wisdom of your peers.

Our agenda covers a diverse range of topics including wellbeing, leadership, school improvement and technology. Through learning from each other’s experiences and considering innovative, evidence-based and practical strategies, we will explore new ways to enhance educational practices and outcomes.

We will also be announcing and celebrating the winners of this year’s NASS Awards.

We hope you will join us!
