Learning Pit Events

“James Nottingham will help you navigate the world of educational concepts and research with a wonderful blend of clarity and good humour.”

Professor CAROL DWECK

Through the years, we have hosted many conferences – most notably with Carol Dweck, John Hattie, Jaz Ampaw Farr, and Sir John Jones. Indeed, we have run conferences with Professor Dweck more than thirty times since our first tour together in 2010; and from 2014-2019, we held the exclusive licence to run Visible Learning in Scandinavia alongside Professor John Hattie.
Recently, we have developed our expertise in hosting online events. Professor Jo Boaler from Stanford University joined us for the first of our online conferences in September 2020; and James Nottingham and Dr Carmen Bergmann ran free, weekly webinars throughout 2020 and 2021. Recordings from many of these events are available to our subscribers.
We have plans to host conferences again in 2023, details of which will appear on this page when they are available. In the meantime, if you would like to invite us to co-host an event with you, or to invite James Nottingham to keynote your conference (onsite or online) then please contact Sarah Unwin.
