Countdown to nasen LIVE 2025: An Unmissable SEND Event
The UK's leading SEND CPD conference, nasen LIVE 2025, is returning to The Vox Conference Centre at Resorts World Birmingham on Friday 4 July 2025, with the powerful theme "Preparation for Life." This year's event is set to be the most impactful yet, with a clear focus on equipping education professionals with the tools and insights they need to support learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) from early years through to adulthood.

A Practical Focus: Preparation for Life
The 2025 theme centres on preparing children and young people with SEND not just for academic success, but for independent, fulfilled lives beyond education. Attendees will explore how the education system can better support life readiness, via series of informative seminars delivered by sector specialists.
Highlights of the agenda include:
- High-quality keynote sessions from leading voices in SEND policy, practice, and lived experience, from leading speakers such as Malcolm Reeve, Natalie Packer, Sam Baines, J Grange and Joe Fautley.
- Seminars and workshops exploring the role of technology, effective alternative provision, successful transition strategies, and co-production with families
- Case studies from schools and settings across the UK demonstrating what effective preparation for life looks like in action
