about

FOLS2026 is a professional development experience in Birmingham that brings Ed Farm’s passionate community of educators together to reimagine learning through technology and future-focused curriculum.

WHAT TO EXPECT

At FOLS2026, you will be TRANSFORM:ED

The world is rapidly evolving, and educators are leading the charge. This year, we are celebrating the changemakers who are embracing leading-edge technology and teaching strategies to completely transform learning. Experience real "before and after" success stories and learn how to prepare your students for the future, today.

Connect with Dynamic Digital Educators

Find your people. Education is better together. FOLS brings together a vibrant community of like-minded educators. Share real-world challenges, exchange strategies, and build a lasting support system with peers who truly understand.

Get Hands-On with Emerging Tech

Build your confidence. Step away from the pressure to simply "figure it out" and step into guided practice. Our immersive, hands-on sessions will increase your knowledge of emerging technologies and give you practical, actionable ways to apply them in your learning environments.

A Fun & Familial Approach to PD

Learn comfortably. Professional development shouldn't be stressful. Experience a dynamic, welcoming, and relaxed environment where you are encouraged to ask the tough questions, challenge the status quo, and rediscover the joy of teaching.
