Alongside the seminars, the event boasts a free-to-attend exhibitor theatre, showcasing cutting-edge products and services from more than 80 exhibitors—including industry leaders, independent brands, and local businesses. Make sure to visit the Assisted Technology Zone, sponsored by the British Assistive Technology Association (BATA), which will highlight the latest advancements in technology designed to support SEND learners.

The conference will also feature an exceptional line-up of speakers, including Dave Barrett, Director of Nao Clarity Assessment & Training Centre; Martyn Owen, SEND Transformation Lead at Doncaster Council; Vafa Taleban, executive coach and consultant; and Ginny Bootman, an expert in special needs and relationship-building. Complementing the talks, interactive workshops from exhibitors will provide practical, hands-on insights into SEND best practices.

Kicking off the event, Asha Patel, clinical psychologist and CEO of Innovating Minds, will deliver an inspiring free keynote session.

The Tes SEND Show North 2025 is not just a conference—it’s a dynamic hub for networking, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. Whether you’re a SENCO, SEND practitioner, local authority professional, or someone passionate about enhancing outcomes for young people with SEND, this event is for you.
