The Education Estates® SEND Conference returns on Thursday 5 February 2026, bringing together everyone involved in shaping inclusive learning environments for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
Now in its fourth year, the conference has firmly established itself as a must-attend event for decision-makers from schools, colleges, universities, multi-academy trusts, and local & national government. It also attracts the architects, consultants, contractors and key suppliers who play a vital role in delivering on the sector’s ambitions.
After two sell-out years, we’re delighted to announce that the 2026 conference will be moving to ExCeL London. The new venue not only allows us to welcome even more delegates with a passion for improving SEND provision, but also provides world-class facilities and is underpinned by a bold Sustainability Strategy.
We’re also excited to share that delegates will have access to the Education Estates® Net Zero Conference, taking place in the adjacent hall – a perfect opportunity to explore how inclusive and sustainable design go hand in hand.
