nasen LIVE 2026 announces latest confirmed speakers and panellists
nasen has announced the latest speaker and panellist line-up for nasen LIVE 2026, bringing together SEND specialists, school leaders, practitioners and sector voices for a full day of practical CPD at The Vox, Resorts World, Birmingham, on Friday the 3rd of July 2026.
With schools and settings navigating increasing complexity, nasen LIVE 2026 will bring together specialists, practitioners and sector voices to share practical strategies, fresh insight and inclusive approaches that can be applied in real settings.
The confirmed sessions reflect some of the most pressing themes facing schools and settings, including accessibility planning, inclusive literacy, assistive technology, early intervention, parent partnership, dyscalculia, internal provision, race and intersectionality, Ofsted and inclusion, specialist-mainstream collaboration, and staff wellbeing.
Speakers confirmed so far include: Aaron King, Adam Boddison OBE, Carol Allen, Cat Eadle, Chantal Bryan OBE, Emma Shackleton, Errol Comrie, Faye Whittle, Jason Selormey, Lorraine Petersen OBE, Malcolm Reeve, Matt McArthur, Rebecca Gonyora, Rob Jennings, Rowena Hicks, Sarah Giles and Stacey Jukes.
Across the day, delegates will be able to explore how to strengthen inclusive practice in realistic, sustainable ways. Sessions will offer practical strategies that can be taken back into schools, colleges and settings, whether delegates are leading SEND provision, supporting classroom practice, developing whole-school approaches, or working directly with children, young people and families.
Highlights include sessions on: accessibility planning that drives inclusion rather than compliance, inclusive reading and literacy for every learner, assistive technology as a strategic teaching tool, and turning parent meetings into stronger partnerships.
The programme will also look at how schools can respond to rising complexity through purposeful internal provision, early identification, and staff wellbeing approaches that support both educators and learners.
As part of the National Year of Reading, nasen LIVE 2026 will also feature a dedicated panel session, chaired by Dolphin, exploring how to champion inclusive literacy for all. The discussion will bring together professional insight and lived experience to examine the barriers that still exist, the opportunities ahead, and the strategies already making a difference in classrooms and settings.
With 20 sessions, 40+ speakers and panellists, free lunch and refreshments included, nasen LIVE 2026 offers high impact SEND CPD in one focused day.
Tickets are available now at just £109, including full session access, complimentary lunch and refreshments.
Book your place at nasen LIVE 2026 and join us at The Vox, Birmingham, on Friday 3rd of July.
