We’re proud to join the 2026 VET National Teaching & Learning Conference as Major Sponsor and Digital Partner, and it’s worth saying why.

We chose VDC deliberately. This conference is where the VET sector comes together to talk honestly about what teaching actually looks like right now: the pressures, the possibilities, and the people doing the work. For us, that’s exactly the room we want to be in. We’re not here to talk at the sector. We’re here to listen to it, learn from it, and understand the realities trainers are navigating so that what we build genuinely helps.

That focus sits right alongside this year’s theme: Healthy Workplaces. Thriving Teachers. Positive Outcomes. We believe digital tools should make teaching lighter, not heavier: giving educators a clearer view of their learners and more confidence in the decisions they make, without adding to the workload. Those are the conversations we’re most looking forward to having with you.

So please, come and find us. Our table is a genuine invitation: bring your context, your challenges, and your scepticism. We’d far rather have a real conversation about your programs and learners than run through a demo. Whether you already use Kahoot! or have never opened it, we want to hear how it fits (or doesn’t) in your world.

We’d also love to see you at our session, From School to Skills: How VET Can Adapt to Changing Learner Expectations Without Adding More Teacher Burden, presented by Erin Wright, Director of Innovation, Design and Quality at The Gordon. Erin speaks from inside the sector, drawing on her own experience leading teaching teams and navigating the real tension between compliance and quality. Rather than a tidy “here’s the fix,” she offers something more useful: a reframe, a few practical questions to ask about the tools you already use, and a leadership habit worth borrowing. If the pressure of rising learner expectations against finite time is familiar, this half hour is for you.

And yes, there’s a reason to visit beyond the conversation. Drop by the table and grab a pair of Kahoot! socks. They’re comfortable, they’re ours, and they may be the most practical piece of professional development you take home this year.

We can’t wait to meet you, learn from you, and be part of the sector’s most important gathering of the year. See you there.
