Mark your calendars – our National Teacher Conference is back for 2024. Join us at Bell Shakespeare HQ, Pier 2/3, Walsh Bay, or join us live and online from the comfort of home for an enriching two days of learning about Shakespeare and the way we teach his plays.

Over two days you'll hear from a diverse range of speakers including Bell Shakespeare artists, academics, theatre practitioners and teachers as we discuss innovative approaches, new concepts, proven tips and tricks for classroom practice, and share stimulating ideas about Shakespeare.

On Friday night, join us for a special soirée as we celebrate teaching, connection and Shakespeare against the spectacular backdrop of Sydney harbour.

It’s an opportunity for teachers to take a step away from the classroom and learn from top industry practitioners, while connecting and networking with Australian teachers of Shakespeare from diverse backgrounds.

Teachers may register for the in-person event which includes on-site lunch and refreshments at Bell Shakespeare HQ at Pier 2/3, or join us online and watch the live-streamed event.

Keynote speakers, sessions and schedule to be announced.

All registered attendees (onsite and online) will receive access to conference session recordings.
