FULL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR THE ACEL 2020 GLOBAL CONFERENCE

The Australian Council for Educational Leaders is proud to present its first virtual Global Leadership Conference in September this year.

While we are unable to gather in person due to travel restrictions and social distancing, ACEL will stream this event ‘live’ to bring together educators from around the country and beyond in one colossal forum. International and local thought leaders from across the education sphere will share their perspectives on the new paradigm that has emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of learning on students, teachers and leaders. The event will provide valuable insights into how education can continue to deliver high quality teaching and learning in a new and starkly different world.

We are excited to announce the full program is now available. Please click below to view our three day timetable of Keynote speakers, bios and sessions to help you plan your Online Conference.
