The ALT Annual Conference is the UK's main conference for Learning Technologists and one of the largest conferences of its kind, attracting around 500 participants each year. It is held over three days every September, providing a valuable and practical forum for practitioners, researchers, managers and policy-makers from education and industry to solve problems, explore, reflect, influence and learn.The conference format evolves each year to keep pace with the changing expectations and priorities of participants and speakers, but its core values remain strong. 

We are looking to appoint two or three people with the following qualities:

• national/international standing in the Learning Technology field;
• the commitment and vision to make the conference a success;
• the capacity to chair a major international conference, and its programme committee;
• enthusiasm for and/or experience of working with the ALT community and being a Member of ALT.

Planning and organisation of the conference will be the responsibility of the Conference Committee together with ALT staff. The role is unremunerated, but travel and subsistence costs will be met by ALT, with the conference fee waived.
