There’s just over a month to go until the International Curriculum Conference 2026 (ICC26), and preparations are well underway!

ICC26 is an unmissable event on the global education calendar. This year, between 4 – 6 November 2026, a global community of school leaders and educators will be gathering to share and discuss the practices that are making the greatest difference in schools today. You don’t need to be one of our Subscriber Schools to attend – all international educators are welcome!

For the very first time, we will be hosting the conference in central Singapore. Our delegates will be meeting at the stunning Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, a five-star hotel set along the Singapore River. It’s a superb location for three days of connecting, learning and collaborating.  

The Theme: Get to What Matters

Schools are busy, time and resources are often limited, and priorities compete. That’s why at ICC26, we are focusing on a core theme: Get to What Matters. Over the course of the three days, plus one pre-conference day, we will refine our focus on professional learning by exploring four essential questions:

• What do learners need?
• What helps learning?
• What do we measure?
• What do we keep?

Three days, taking you from big-picture thinking to practical application…

• Pre-Conference – An optional pre-conference day, giving delegates the opportunity to visit one of our selected host schools for a learning walk and see the International Curriculum in action.
• Day 1: Framing – Opening with Keynote Presentations and establishing the key ideas and questions through school-led workshops.
• Day 2: Deep Dive – Explore the issues in greater depth through focused sessions, immersive workshops and networking opportunities.
• Day 3: Application – Contextualise your learning and turn ideas into action, with a focus on what you can take back to your school.

Schools are navigating evolving challenges, from integrating AI into the curriculum to preparing students for a rapidly changing world. To help educators explore these issues and take informed action, we have created a full line-up of workshops focused on these pressing issues. Read on for a teaser on some of the workshops on offer:

• Early Years: AI & IEYC: Enhancing learning without losing the human
• Primary Years: Are we designing curriculum for the learners or designing learners for the curriculum?
• Middle Years: NOT YET. Rethinking what it means to be ready
• Leadership: But did they learn it? From curriculum intention to learner impact

The ICC26 is an exciting opportunity to meet with fellow educators from around the globe and gain fresh perspectives. Whether you are looking to further your professional development, explore evidence-based practices or learn how to better integrate local culture into your curriculum, you’ll leave the conference with actionable strategies and a reinvigorated passion for improving learning.

If you haven’t yet booked your place, group discounts are available, and schools save when booking three or more tickets. We can’t wait to see you in Singapore!

Connect with the international education community

ICC26 is a wonderful opportunity for partners to connect with school leaders and decision makers who are looking for ideas, evidence and solutions that make a real difference.

• 100+ Delegates
• 20+ Countries

If you are an organisation that genuinely shares our commitment to improving learning, we’d love to work with you. Rather than simply offering an exhibition slot, ICC26 offers you the opportunity to share your expertise, deliver an interactive workshop or and begin building strong relationships with educators around the world.
