You know that feeling when you’ve been staring longingly at the oven, waiting for your brownies to bake? That heady mix of excitement, impatience, and the certainty that something delicious is about to happen?

Well, dear reader, consider this your brownie moment.

Because ICAP Conference 2026 tickets are officially on sale – and the early bird window is flapping open RIGHT NOW!

And yes, you’ll want to get your hands on them before they vanish faster than the snacks at soft play.

Let’s talk about what’s coming…

Picture it: one glorious day filled with energy, inspiration, and a room full of people who actually get what you do (and probably have a story or two about glitter explosions, class chaos, or the Great Parent WhatsApp Debate of 2023).

🍔 Food, Glorious Food! Yep, it’s all on us. Because no one can learn on an empty stomach.

Oh, and a quick heads-up…

We’re using Zoom Events to handle all the ticketing and logistics, but don’t panic – this is very much an in-person event. Same friendly faces, same buzz of real-life connection, same awkward dancing at the end of the day (probably). Zoom just keeps things neat and simple so you can manage your ticket, see your sessions, and flash your digital pass like the boss you are.
