* PRESS REGISTRATION *

The 2026 conference will take place from 7 to 9 January 2026. The event will be delivered as a hybrid, with the option to attend physically in Oxford or Online, with all main sessions at the Oxford Examination Schools live streamed for media. Please note fringes, Inspiring Innovators, FW Question Time, the debate and dinners will not be available digitally.

Press passes give access strictly only to the pressroomwhere a live stream of the conference is available along with refreshments and Wi-Fi access. The main conference auditorium is for paying delegates only.

For those wishing to attend in-person, dinners, including the Chair's Welcome, are not included with press passes but can be booked at your own cost. The debate and fringes are included, subject to availability.

You will also note some activities are “unavailable”. This is because space is limited in these rooms and as such priority is offered to paying delegates. If you would like to attend any of these sessions, please speak to one of our team in the press room when you are at Oxford, and we can confirm if space is available.
