The Advance HE Teaching and Learning Conference 2026, titled "Success by Design: The Future of Learning Now," is the premier annual gathering for higher education professionals dedicated to excellence in pedagogy. Hosted at the scenic University of York, this three-day event provides a global platform for educators, researchers, and strategic leaders to share evidence-based practices and innovative solutions to the most pressing challenges in the sector.
The 2026 theme focuses on intentional design. In an era of rapid technological shifts and evolving student demographics, "Success by Design" explores how teaching, technology, student support, and institutional strategy can be woven together to ensure student success from the very beginning. Participants will engage with a variety of sessions including keynote presentations from world-leading experts, interactive workshops, oral presentations, and poster sessions.
Key topics for the 2026 conference include the ethical integration of Artificial Intelligence in the classroom, the evolution of academic integrity, and strategies for inclusive curriculum design. The conference also highlights the importance of "belonging" in the digital age, examining how institutions can foster a sense of community for diverse learner groups, including mature students, neurodivergent learners, and international cohorts.
Beyond the formal program, the conference serves as a vital networking hub. Attendees will have numerous opportunities to connect with peers from across the UK and internationally, fostering collaborations that extend well after the event. Whether you are looking to refine your personal teaching practice, lead departmental change, or influence institutional policy, this conference offers the insights and tools necessary to shape the future of higher education. Join us in York to contribute to the conversation on how we equip our institutions and colleagues for the successes of tomorrow.
