A conference for everyone who believes in community
The NEAS 2025 Conference is more than just an industry event: it’s a gathering of people with similar interests and a celebration of belonging.
Our theme this year, “Pathways to Belonging: Our Role in Building Communities,” reminds us of the contributions that international students and migrants make to education, workplaces, and society.
Whether you work in ELICOS, AMEP, higher education, vocational training, or community-based English programs, NEAS 2025 is the conference for you!

Why attend? We have something for everyone
No matter your role in the industry, NEAS 2025 has something for everyone:
- Sessions focused on leadership, innovation, and quality assurance in education, helping you stay navigate the complexities of our industry
- Practical training sessions and expert-led discussions designed to introduce new teaching techniques, classroom strategies, and insights into student engagement
- Opportunities to learn from industry experts, gain career insights, and connect with potential mentors who can guide your professional journey
- A hub for collaboration and networking, where decision-makers come together to discuss the future of ELT
At its heart, this conference is a chance to come together as a community – to learn, share, and inspire each other.

The program is taking shape!
We are currently finalising the program, and we can’t wait to share what we have planned!
You can look forward to hearing from inspiring keynote speakers, who will share their insights on creating a sense of belonging and community, drawing on their personal experiences and their work with international students and migrants. You can also look expect sessions focused on innovation and AI, exploring their potential to transform ELT and create wider community benefits.
There will be select hands-on workshops designed to provide practical tools for educators, managers, and industry leaders, offering practical strategies and fresh perspectives.
With dedicated networking opportunities throughout, the conference will also be a hub for connection, collaboration, and meaningful discussions across the ELT sector, and beyond.
