No two educators face exactly the same challenges, so why should everyone have the same event experience?
At BRILLIANT 2026, we're making it easier than ever to shape your day around the topics, challenges and opportunities that matter most to you.
Whether you're looking for practical solutions to take back to your organisation, new approaches to teaching and learning, or opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals, we've introduced a range of personalised experiences to help you make the most of your time with us.
From tailored agendas and guided exhibition tours to author meet-and-greets and informal networking, here's how you can make BRILLIANT your own.
A personalised agenda, built around you
With six key themes, a packed programme of speakers and a wide range of exhibitors, there's plenty to explore at BRILLIANT. But we know that finding the sessions most relevant to your role and interests can sometimes feel overwhelming.
That's why we're introducing personalised agendas, designed to help you navigate the day and focus on what matters most.
Using the preferences you share when registering through Eventbrite, we'll recommend sessions and experiences that align with your interests, helping you plan a day that's relevant, productive and worthwhile.
Already registered? Make sure you've updated your preferences on Eventbrite so we can tailor your recommendations. If you haven't done this yet, now's the time!
Soon, we’ll be sending all registered attendees their very own tailored agenda, along with the locations of the exhibitors most relevant to your interests.
Discover the right solutions with the BRILLIANT Safari
Sometimes the most valuable discovery at an event is a conversation you didn't know you needed to have.
Our BRILLIANT Safari sessions, new for 2026, are designed to help you discover exhibitors, organisations and innovations that directly relate to your interests and challenges.
Rather than exploring the exhibition on your own, you'll join a guided tour introducing you to relevant solutions, fresh thinking and people who could make a real difference to your organisation.
With four themed Safari sessions taking place throughout the day, you can explore different areas of interest and make connections that go beyond a quick conversation at an exhibition stand.
Each Safari begins in the Networking Hub, where you'll meet your group before setting off to discover what's happening across the exhibition.
Whether you're searching for new technology, practical resources or potential partners, the BRILLIANT Safari is about helping you find the right people and solutions, without leaving it to chance.
Meet the minds behind the ideas at the BRILLIANT Bookshop
Ever listened to a speaker and wished you could continue the conversation?
At The BRILLIANT Bookshop, you can.
Located in the Networking Hub, the Bookshop will offer an opportunity to meet some of the authors and thought leaders speaking at BRILLIANT, discover their published work and purchase signed copies of their books.
With dedicated one-hour signing sessions planned throughout the day, you'll have the chance to speak directly with the people behind the ideas, ask questions and take home something that keeps the inspiration going long after the event.
It's another way you can make BRILLIANT your own, with opportunities for meaningful conversations beyond the main stages.
Keep an eye on the agenda for announcements about participating authors and their books.
Connect. Collaborate. Create. with the Edufuturists Collective
Some of the best conversations at an event happen when the presentations finish and people have the space to talk openly.
That's the thinking behind Connect. Collaborate. Create., a relaxed networking experience hosted by the Edufuturists Collective.
Before you head home, grab a coffee and join a group of people who care about the future of education as much as you do.
No slides, no pitches, just good conversation.
The session is built around three simple ideas:
Connect: Share what's working, what's not and the challenges you're trying to overcome.
Collaborate: Meet people who share your interests and explore opportunities to work together.
Create: Leave with a new connection, a fresh perspective or an idea worth taking back to your organisation.
You might meet someone facing exactly the same challenge, discover an approach you've never considered or find a future collaborator who helps turn an idea into something bigger.
The future of education won't be shaped by individuals working in isolation. It will be built through conversations, collaboration and a willingness to share what we've learned.
Make BRILLIANT your own this November
We know that taking time away from your usual responsibilities is a commitment. That's why BRILLIANT is about more than sitting in an audience and listening to speakers.
Our personalised experiences are designed to make opportunities easier to find, giving you more control over your day and helping you leave with something genuinely valuable.
BRILLIANT takes place on 10th November 2026 at Exhibition Centre, Liverpool Experience Campus, bringing together educators, innovators and organisations from across the education sector for a day of ideas, inspiration and connection.
If you've already registered, make sure your Eventbrite preferences are up to date so we can send you your personalised agenda. If you haven't secured your place yet, there's still time to join us.
