News flash: We are very sorry to tell you that the Big Computing Leadership Conference cannot go ahead on the planned date of the 13th January 2026 due to unforeseen issues with the venue space at Oxford Brookes University. We share your disappointment and sincerely thank you for the work, preparation, and generosity you have already invested. We very much value your contribution and remain committed to delivering a high-quality and impactful computing educational event.
There will be no conference in 2026. However, we are pleased to confirm that a new date and venue have been secured for the following year:
