The National Education Summit Brisbane is set to return to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 May 2026, bringing together K–12 educators for Queensland’s premier conference-led professional development event.
Set in the heart of Brisbane, the 2026 summit delivers its strongest and most future-focused program yet, responding directly to the evolving needs of schools, teachers and leaders across Australia.
The National Education Summit Brisbane offers educators the opportunity to build a personalised professional learning experience by selecting one of four dedicated conferences, each tailored to specific roles, interests and priorities. Each conference runs across the two days, allowing attendees to engage deeply with content aligned to their professional focus.
The Wellbeing for Future Focused Schools Conference places wellbeing at the centre of sustainable education in 2026. With increasing demands on educators and schools, the program focuses on Supporting Educator Wellbeing, Enhancing Student Wellbeing, and implementing Whole-School Wellbeing Programs. Sessions explore practical strategies to reduce burnout, strengthen resilience, and create school cultures where both staff and students can thrive.
The Capacity Building School Libraries Conference highlights the evolving role of libraries as dynamic learning hubs. The 2026 program has a strong focus on AI & Digital Literacy, Leadership, Wellbeing & Professional Growth, and Reading Culture & Engagement. Designed for teacher librarians and library leaders, the conference explores how libraries can lead innovation, support literacy, and drive inclusive, future-ready learning across schools.
The AI in the Classroom Conference addresses one of the most significant shifts in education today. This stream focuses on AI-Enhanced Teaching & Learning and how educators can meaningfully integrate AI into educational practice. Sessions move beyond theory, offering practical, ethical and classroom-ready approaches to using AI to support planning, assessment, differentiation and student creativity.
The Diverse Learners Symposium is dedicated to inclusive education and meeting the needs of every learner. In 2026, the program focuses on Inclusive Classroom Practices, Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing, and Neurodiversity & Learning Differences. Educators gain evidence-based strategies to support diverse learning profiles, foster belonging, and create environments where all students are empowered to succeed.
With a strong emphasis on practical application, research-informed insights and real-world classroom impact, the National Education Summit Brisbane continues to set the benchmark for professional learning in Queensland.
