Join senior leadership colleagues from across the UK to discuss and share strategies on the role technology will play in the future of education.

This one-day conference is free to all senior leaders, regardless of ASCL membership, and offers an exceptional opportunity to explore how you can continue to develop the use of technology in your school to benefit pupils and staff, now and in the future.

The ASCL Education Technology Conference aims to:

• build fundamental change to how we view the future of teaching and learning, harnessing the power of technology to help sustain and enhance the role of teachers and leaders
• understand the practicalities of what technology can do for school leaders and their communities
• provide insight into how use of devices in education works in practice and the relatively easy steps school leaders can take to utilise device capability in designing and delivering the curriculum
• offer a step-by-step guide so school leaders can successfully use technology to enhance their pupils’ futures
• support the creation of a route plan to help leaders manage the journey to greater and more effective use of technology, helping to put the technology jigsaw together at a pace that meets the needs of individual schools and their contexts
