Natspec organises two conferences every year which provide a multitude of CPD and networking opportunities for professionals.
Natspec National Conference

Our next National Conference will be held on 9 and 10 June 2026 in Birmingham. It is targeted at anyone working with high-needs funded learners in further education. The two-day conference provides delegates with the chance to network with like minded colleagues and find solutions. Breakout sessions provide opportunities to focus in on certain topics, covering anything from leadership to assessment to transitions to communication needs – and more! We invite experts – from both within and outside the specialist FE sector – to give keynote speeches, providing insight and provoking discussion.

TechAbility Conference

Our TechAbility Conference is a one day event, usually held in the autumn term, which focuses on Assistive Technology. Sessions are presented by leading practitioners, grounded in practice and research. An Assistive Technology supplier exhibition lets you see solutions and how they work up close. And there are plenty of opportunities for discussion throughout the day.
TechAbility Conference 2026 will take place Thursday 19 November – save the date.
