Digifest 2026: register now
Digifest, the UK’s flagship event for digital learning and teaching, is back for 2026, bringing together leaders and innovators from across the sector to share, collaborate and inspire.
Digifest 2026 is taking place at the ICC Birmingham on 10-11 March, and will bring together bold ideas and practical solutions to help the sector thrive in our ever-evolving digital world.
This is where the sector comes together to put people, not platforms, at the heart of digital transformation. With AI and emerging technologies reshaping how we teach and learn, Digifest is your opportunity to stay ahead, build confidence, and lead change.
This year’s event will be centred around three key themes:
Empowering people in the age of complexity: dive into the importance of putting people, not platforms, at the heart of digital transformation. As technology continues to reshape education, discover how to create a culture where innovation supports wellbeing, empowers staff and students and ensures no one is left behind
Re-envisioning the educational experience: education is changing and so is the way we teach. At Digifest 2026, we’ll explore how to place student voice, agency, and lived experience at the heart of learning, while shaping teaching that aligns with the future of work and society
Creating responsible and ethical futures: technology doesn’t just disrupt - it transforms. This theme will challenge us to actively shape the digital world with an ethical, inclusive and forward-thinking lens. Through collaboration and critical thinking, we’ll explore how to make technology work for people, not the other way around
We are once again offering the flexibility you need with the option to book a one-day ticket, a two-day ticket, or to attend online. So however you choose to join us, you’ll be part of shaping a sector that doesn’t just adapt to change but leads it.
“There’s a real atmosphere, a definite buzz of going in there and seeing familiar platforms or familiar people. It is a very collaborative sector and we all like to share and talk about what we're doing, and Digifest gives you that opportunity.”
- Pip Armstrong, digital innovation development coach, Nottingham College
