The 35th IATEFL Poland Annual International Conference, to be held September 18th–20th, 2026, at Vistula University in Warsaw, invites proposals from passionate educators, trainers, researchers, and innovators who are ready to shape the future of English language teaching. Under the theme The Changemakers Revolution, the conference will explore how learning is evolving across every stage of life—from early childhood education to higher education, teacher development, and adult workplace learning. We welcome presenters who are leading change, challenging tradition, and bringing fresh ideas to classrooms and learning communities worldwide.

As one of the most respected ELT events in the region, the IATEFL Poland Annual International Conference has welcomed participants from more than 30 countries and features a vibrant international community of teachers, academics, publishers, software developers, and educational leaders. The 2026 edition promises another outstanding three-day programme filled with world-class plenary speakers, practical sessions, networking opportunities, exhibitions, and professional development experiences.

  • Workshops – highly interactive sessions designed to involve participants actively in learning and discussion.
    Workshops may be scheduled for 45 minutes or 60 minutes, depending on programme needs and availability. Presenters should indicate their preferred length and flexibility when submitting.
