Tickets are now limited for the exclusive "2025 Science of Learning Conference - From Insight to Implementation" at Matthew Flinders Anglican College on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland from Thursday, 3 April to Friday, 4 April.
With close to two-thirds of tickets already sold, educators and school leaders from across Australia are demonstrating their commitment to professional growth in the powerful field of Science of Learning.
The stunning natural location is also a drawcard for delegates, as the Sunshine Coast is a breathtaking surf and hinterland destination, and the only place in Australia where three biosphere corridors sit side-by-side.
The 11 expert presenters on the speaker line-up include some of the best in the business, with keynotes by US-based Dr Jared Cooney-Horvath, a world leader in educational neuroscience, and Dr John Sweller, the architect of Cognitive Load Theory.

College Principal Michelle Carroll said, "Flinders is proud to host this high quality education conference to inspire, challenge and support educators and leaders across Australia.
“We are delighted to have Dr Jared Conney-Horvath present three keynotes on the latest research and strategies on transfer learning, creativity and the learning trajectory.
“His expertise in human learning, memory and brain stimulation is extensive and rigorous, drawing from research conducted at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, the University of Melbourne and over 50 international schools."
The Science of Learning (SoL) is an interdisciplinary approach that combines insights and research from neuroscience, psychology and education to understand how children learn best.
With the latest SoL research, educators and school leadership are able to understand how the brain acquires, retains and processes information, so there can be more effective, engaging and inclusive learning environments for students.
