What is the Event? 

The UKLA National Conference is an annual online conference. Each year it visits new themes and brings together authors, keynote speakers and session leaders from around the UK and beyond. Combining research, practical application and shared experiences, it is invaluable for all whose aim is to advance their personal or professional practice. Being online means that it is accessible for all who wish to attend, and resources are shared afterwards so that participants can access all session information, including those that they couldn’t get to. 

When is the Event? 

The National Conference takes place on the first Saturday of March each year. The theme is confirmed in the preceding September and speakers and sessions leads are secured by invitation. There is not an open call for submissions. Ticketing begins in December and closes on the Thursday before the event on the Saturday.
