BKSA AGM and Schools, Clubs, Instructors Conference 2026

Our annual schools, clubs and instructors conference is back and scheduled for March 21st 2026 and will precede our AGM.

A great event for BKSA instructors School and Club principles and coaches needing to revalidate their qualification before the start of the 2026 summer season.

This is a great opportunity to meet others in the industry and to brush-up on your teaching skills and continued professional development. Currently BKSA qualified instructors and coaches who participate fully in the conference will have their qualification revalidated for another 3 years. For Instructors whose qualifications have already lapsed, please see the BKSA website for details on how to revalidate by other means.

The morning will kick off with presentations from guest speakers. In the afternoon there will be the opportunity to get out outside for some practical workshops and practical sessions, which will be run by the BKSA Training Team. Please bring your wet gear/clothing but you do not need to bring kiting kit.

After the practical sessions, we will all return to the conference room for a wrap up of the on-water activities and general discussion/Q&A. Part of the conference will be dedicated to the AGM.

If you DO need to revalidate, please choose the £65 full conference + AGM ticket at checkout.

For the full conference + AGM without revalidation, please choose the £20 ticket at checkout.

If you wish to come to the AGM only, please choose the ‘AGM only, free ticket’ option.

We will notify of the exact time of the AGM once the day’s agenda has been finalised. Thank you.
