Belfast workshops 2024

Due to popular demand the Barry Bennett Workshops are returning to Belfast! These CPD events are free to attend and bring together key suppliers of assistive technology hardware and software, and those working with SEN students in secondary and higher education.

Each event runs for one day from 9:45am to 5:00pm with an optional evening networking event and as a delegate you will be given the opportunity to plan your time prior to the event by creating your own unique timetable of seminar-style presentations.

During the day there will be plenty of opportunity to take time out to visit supplier stands in the main exhibition hall, try new and updated technology and network with colleagues in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Refreshments, lunch and food at the evening networking event are all included.
