Conference 2026

"I came away not only with new ideas and connections, but also with greater confidence in how I approach KE and where I fit within the wider community. I would highly recommend the conference to anyone working in, or considering moving into, KE – especially those at an early stage, like me, who are still shaping their understanding of the field."
