researchED New Zealand is returning to Long Bay College in 2027

We’re delighted to share that researchED New Zealand is returning to Long Bay College in 2027, taking place on Saturday the 8th of May.

The purpose of every researchED conference is simple: bridging the gap between educational research and classroom practice. It is about bringing together teachers, school leaders, researchers and practitioners to engage with evidence, challenge ideas, and explore what makes the greatest difference for learners.

We’re excited to be building on the momentum of 2026, with an outstanding programme of international and New Zealand speakers already taking shape, including keynote presentations from Zaretta Hammond and Associate Professor Haili Hughes.

Save the date and secure your ticket for the day by following the link below.

What makes researchED New Zealand different?

I have been asked a few times recently “What makes researchED New Zealand different?”. It is a fair question, especially in a crowded education landscape where conferences, summits, and PLD opportunities blur into one another. I’m also mindful that I publish this with the event effectively on the verge of selling out, three months before it happens. This is not an attempt to sell a ticket to anyone, rather to frame the day and to build on the network of teachers and researchers that is taking shape right now.

researchED New Zealand: Where the science of learning meets the future of curriculum
