About

The Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) 2026 returns this March for two energising days at ACC Liverpool, bringing together the people who are shaping the future of skills, apprenticeships and workforce development.

Following a standout, record-breaking 2025, ATC 2026 lands at a pivotal moment for the sector. As the Government’s Skills Reform agenda gathers pace, this is your opportunity to step back, take stock and explore how a more employer-led, flexible and future-focused system can unlock productivity, growth and opportunity across the UK.

ATC is not just a conference – it’s where policy meets practice. Across two packed days, you’ll hear from inspiring voices, engage in practical debate, and leave with ideas and insights you can take straight back into your organisation.

Unmissable keynote speakers

ATC 2026 will be anchored by powerful keynote sessions from:

  • Francesca Martinez, on inclusion, resilience and removing barriers to potential
  • Chloe Combi, offering vital insight into Gen Z, culture and the future workforce
  • Owen O’Kane, exploring wellbeing, performance and leadership in demanding systems.

 

Plus lot’s more. Join us for two days of excellent content culminating in the Apprenticeship and Training Awards hosted by comedian Sara Pascoe. Book your tickets for the event here.
