The 2026 AFLE Conference is set to be our biggest and most energising event yet—an inspiring gathering of women across the education sector who are ready to lead, influence, and drive meaningful change. This year, we are thrilled to announce that fellow AFLE member and renowned leadership expert Tracey Ezard will open the conference as our keynote speaker, setting the tone for a day of connection, courage, and collective momentum.

Our theme for 2026 is Forward is Female: Progress Powered by Women, and Tracey’s work in transformational leadership is the perfect way to kick off an inspiring day of learning and connection.

Across a series of exciting and invigorating sessions, attendees will explore what it truly means to move forward—as individuals, as leaders, and as a community of women shaping the future of education. With a strong focus on practical strategies, authentic storytelling, and building pathways that amplify women’s voices, this conference creates space for real progress and real impact.

Designed for aspiring, emerging, and established female leaders, the 2026 AFLE Conference is a must-attend event for women who want to lead with purpose, elevate others, and be part of a movement that champions equity and opportunity in every school.

Join us as we celebrate women’s leadership, accelerate progress, and continue building a future where Forward is Female—and where progress is truly Powered by Women.
