TPEA Annual Conference
Facing the Future: Are we ready for change NOW?
25th June 2026
University of Northampton

Our 2026 TPEA Conference was titled: Facing the Future: Are We Ready for Change Now?

Digital technologies are changing education quickly. Developments such as artificial intelligence, new expectations for digital skills, and shifts in computing education raise important questions about how prepared educators and institutions are for what comes next.

This conference invited teachers, researchers, educators and practitioners to share work that explores current developments in computing and educational technology and their implications for teaching, learning and curriculum. The day included a keynote, panel and presentations on our conference themes.

In addition, in 2026, we celebrated 40 years since the founding of TPEA as ITTE – the association of Information Technology in Teacher Education. The conference was an opportunity to look back at what we have learnt over 40 years of research and practice in using technology in education and also to look forward to next steps for technology, pedagogy and education.

Thanks to our generous sponsors at Taylor Francis, the conference was subsidised for TPEA Members+ and we also offered a number of travel and accommodation bursaries to support attendance.
