Step into a day designed for the Ambassadors who power our mission. The Holocaust Educational Trust’s Ambassador Conference is more than an event, it creates opportunities to engage with history, to immerse yourself in meaningful activities and to take part in conversations alongside like-minded peers, all with the goal of championing Holocaust education and remembrance.
Once a year, hundreds of our Ambassadors, and interested teachers and their students gather in one place to hear from Holocaust survivors and distinguished keynote speakers, attend educational workshops, and build their connected community.

Just your ticket!
Most attendees, especially our Ambassadors, will have previously taken part in our Lessons from Auschwitz Project. However, we recognise that not all students will have had this opportunity. We encourage teachers, where possible, to introduce Holocaust learning beforehand so students can fully engage with the event.
If you’re interested in attending but don’t feel confident in your existing knowledge, we offer virtual sessions for teachers led by our Education Team on how and why to teach the Holocaust. Schools may also benefit from joining our Testimony 360: People and Places of the Holocaust programme here or our Outreach programme here.
We will also be providing attendees with a digital take-away resource pack that will include more information about the day, resources and videos to help further their learning, future events and Ambassador community developments.
We will be encouraging attendees, especially our ambassadors, to be posting across socials to celebrate the Conference. We also have a hashtag we will be using #AMCON2026.
Yes – for wheelchairs there are step free access and lifts throughout the centre, including disabled toilets. Assistance and guide dogs are welcome. They offer induction loops for the hearing impaired.
