The wait is nearly over. The ALT Annual Conference 2025 is just around the corner, and excitement is building fast.

ALT is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for professionals in Further and Higher Education to deepen their understanding of digital accessibility.

We’re delighted to announce the launch of the Online Programmes Special Interest Group (SIG). 

As we get ready to welcome you to ALTC25, we’d like to take a moment to thank the generous sponsors who are helping make this year’s conference possible.

Each of our sponsors is bringing their own expertise and energy to ALTC25, and we encourage you to visit their stands, join their sessions, and connect with them during the event. They play an important part in shaping the conversations and innovations happening across our community.

As this is a busy time of year for many colleagues, we are extending the deadline to submit Expressions of Interest for the roles of Vice-Chair or Trustee on ALT’s Board to Monday 3 November 2025 at 9:00 AM. We hope this additional time allows members to fully consider this exciting opportunity to contribute to ALT’s strategic leadership.

In October 2025, the ALT Annual Conference returns to Scotland for the first time since 2019.

The countdown is on, ALTC25 is just around the corner, and we’re thrilled to unveil our keynote line-up for the conference on 23–24 October 2025.

Our 2025 Annual General Meeting will be held online at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, 19 November 2025. 

​​​​​What happens when a university rethinks student engagement?

When the University of Leeds set out to transform how students interact in class, they didn’t just tweak the system, they reimagined it.

When we first launched the ALT Members’ Digest, it was designed as a simple collation of community news, hence the name. But as ALT has grown, so too has the richness and diversity of our membership.

We are entering a new chapter in ALT’s governance, and this announcement marks an important milestone in shaping the organisation’s future leadership.

Following the conclusion of this year’s competitive peer review, we’re pleased to announce that the draft programme for ALTC25 is now available.

The shortlist for the ALT Awards 2025 is now live, spotlighting exceptional achievements in learning technology. Selected by an expert judging panel, this year’s finalists represent the very best in innovation, impact, and excellence across the sector.

ALTC is more than just keynotes and sessions - it’s a vibrant, immersive experience that brings the ALT community together in exciting and unexpected ways. From creative showcases and group-led conversations to social gatherings and spontaneous moments of connection, this is where the conference truly comes to life.
