Education recruitment and sector engagement specialists Dovetail & Slate are proud to announce the launch of The TLA Impact Conference 2026: Leading Learning That Lasts, a flagship event dedicated to advancing excellence in teaching, learning and assessment across further education and skills.
Taking place on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at the prestigious Tuke Common Room, Regent’s University London, the one-day conference will bring together influential education leaders, practitioners and quality professionals to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping teaching, learning and assessment in 2026.

Speakers include renowned education leaders and experts: Jonny Kay, Andy Green, John Evans OBE, Luke Zwalf and Damian Rollinson Small.
“Exceptional teaching and learning remain at the heart of successful educational organisations. The TLA Impact Conference has been designed to bring together passionate professionals who are committed to driving meaningful improvement, sharing best practice and creating lasting impact for both learners and staff. We wanted to create an event that moves beyond theory and focuses on practical strategies that can make a real difference.”
