Our conference aims to bring together teachers of all levels to inspire, collaborate, and network.

Since 1990, the MEI Conference has been at the forefront of our efforts to support maths education.

It reflects our philosophy that emphasising understanding and highlighting the connections within maths is the key to developing fluency, confidence, and enjoyment in maths.

We welcome teachers of secondary maths and beyond. Our conference aims to bring together teachers of all levels to inspire, collaborate, and network.

The conference will be held over two days and will host 64 sessions. We are delighted to have two plenary speakers over the two days. We will also have a welcome keynote from our Chief Executive, Charlie Stripp.

We invite you to join us on Thursday evening for welcome drinks, dinner and after-dinner entertainment.
