The British Sociological Association (BSA) is proud to host the "Become Conference Confident" workshop as part of its Early Career Forum Regional Event series. Taking place at the University of Leeds, this intensive day-long session is specifically designed to dismantle the anxieties often associated with academic presenting and networking. For many postgraduate researchers and early-career academics, the transition from being a student to a professional contributor in the field of sociology can feel daunting. This event bridges that gap by providing a supportive, peer-led environment where participants can refine their professional persona. The workshop will begin with a plenary session led by senior sociologists who will share their own "conference horror stories" and successes, humanizing the high-stakes world of academic discourse. Following this, attendees will participate in breakout "elevator pitch" sessions, where they practice summarizing their research in under three minutes to diverse audiences. A key focus of the afternoon will be on the technicalities of presentation: how to design accessible slides, how to manage difficult Q&A sessions with grace, and how to use social media (specifically "Academic Twitter" or "X") to amplify research impact during live events. Beyond the technical skills, the event emphasizes the "hidden curriculum" of academic life—networking. We will explore strategies for approaching keynote speakers, finding potential collaborators, and building a sustainable professional network that extends beyond the conference hall. This Leeds-based regional event serves as a vital touchpoint for the Northern sociological community, ensuring that the next generation of scholars is not just prepared to participate, but ready to lead. By the end of the day, delegates will have a toolkit of practical strategies, a polished abstract, and a newfound confidence to represent their institutions on the global stage.

The third annual Education through Podcasting (EPOD) Conference arrives at the University of Leeds this June, bringing together a global community of educators, researchers, and media practitioners.

Participants will engage with sessions on flipped classrooms, micro-learning, and how reflective audio practices can support diverse teaching strategies. A significant portion of the event is dedicated to "Academic Storytelling," focusing on how complex research can be translated into engaging, accessible narratives for the public, bypassing the "gatekeepers" of traditional academic publishing. Furthermore, the conference examines the role of podcasting in civic engagement. It highlights how higher education institutions can use audio to foster community partnerships and collective cultural production. From student-generated podcasts used as assessment tools to the reconfiguration of academic authority through informal, conversational tones, EPOD 2026 is a catalyst for modernizing how knowledge is produced and shared. Attendees can expect a mix of keynote speeches, peer-reviewed paper presentations, and interactive workshops designed to equip them with the tools to start or refine their own educational audio journeys.

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (RCPSG) is proud to present its flagship Medical Education Excellence Conference, a premier gathering designed to shape the future of clinical teaching and professional development. Established in 1599, the College has remained at the forefront of medical standards for centuries, and this upcoming event continues that legacy by bridging the gap between traditional bedside teaching and the rapid integration of modern educational technology. Set within the historic and inspiring walls of the College’s home in the heart of Glasgow, this conference offers a deep dive into the pedagogical shifts currently transforming the healthcare landscape.

Hosted by the prestigious Adam Smith Business School, this event focuses on the intersection of technical financial reporting and the communicative strategies used to convey performance to stakeholders. In an era where "how" you say something is as important as "what" the numbers show, this conference addresses the vital need for clarity, ethics, and transparency in corporate narratives. The conference comprises multiple streams, including a dedicated doctoral stream for emerging researchers and practical sessions for seasoned ACCA professionals. Keynote speakers will address the challenges of the "digital reporting era," where XBRL and automated data scraping are changing how reports are consumed.

The Design Society presents an intensive, one-day immersive experience titled "Human-Centred Design Workshop: The Glasgow Hub." This event is meticulously curated to address the growing need for empathy-driven design in an increasingly digital world. As technology becomes more pervasive, the risk of alienating the end-user grows. This workshop serves as a corrective measure, bringing the focus back to the human element of the design process. Set in the historic and elegant surroundings of The Corinthian Club, the atmosphere is designed to inspire creativity and open dialogue. The day begins with a masterclass in User Experience (UX) psychology, exploring the cognitive biases that influence how people interact with physical and digital products. Facilitators from The Design Society’s "Human Behavior" Special Interest Group will lead participants through a series of ethnographic mapping exercises, teaching them how to observe and interpret user needs that often go unstated. The core of the workshop is dedicated to "Rapid Prototyping for Empathy." Here, participants will be challenged to build low-fidelity models of everyday objects, reimagined for users with varying physical abilities. This hands-on approach demystifies the design process and highlights the importance of inclusivity. By the end of the session, attendees will have mastered techniques for iterative testing and feedback loops that can be applied to any industry—from medical device manufacturing to software development. Networking is a key component of the event, with a structured "Speed Collaboration" session during lunch, allowing attendees to connect with peers who face similar design hurdles. The workshop concludes with a presentation of the prototypes developed during the day, followed by a critique session that emphasizes constructive growth rather than mere evaluation. This event is a unique opportunity to refine your design craft in one of the UK’s most vibrant cultural cities.

This event is a deep dive into how research-intensive universities are evolving their teaching methods to incorporate generative artificial intelligence while maintaining academic integrity and the value of human-led inquiry. The symposium is structured as a series of "Strategy Sprints"—fast-paced, collaborative sessions where leaders from institutions like the National University of Singapore and the University of California, Davis, share their frameworks for digital transformation. Unlike a standard lecture-based conference, this event emphasizes co-creation. Participants will work together to draft a "U21 Manifesto for AI in Education," a document intended to guide member universities in creating ethical, future-proof curricula. Beyond the technological focus, the event also explores "The Evolving Student Persona." Discussions will center on how the university ecosystem must adapt to the needs of Gen Alpha, focusing on mental health, transdisciplinary learning, and global citizenship.

Taking place in Birmingham, this seminar focuses on how schools can better accommodate staff with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and other neurodivergent profiles.

The session provides a comprehensive overview of the Equality Act 2010 and the "reasonable adjustments" that employers are legally required to provide. Experts in the field will lead discussions on how to navigate the workplace—from managing sensory environments in busy schools to advocating for flexible working patterns or specialized administrative support. This seminar is also an excellent opportunity for union representatives and school leaders to learn how to create a more inclusive culture that values different cognitive styles.
