How do I register for the Tes SEND Show North 2026? 

Registration is not open yet. You can register your interest here and we'll inform you when registration has opened. 

I've been receiving emails from external companies. Are they legitimate?

Here at MA Exhibitions (organisers of the Tes SEND Show North), we have recently become aware of a series of fraudulent emails to speakers and exhibitors from companies claiming to be officially partnered with the show, offering marketing services, access to the show's data, claiming to make official announcements about the status of the show and/or hotel reservation services. We are not in any way affiliated with these companies and advise you to ignore their emails and avoid clicking on any links contained within them. Your security is important to us, so if you're unsure whether or not an email you have received is fraudulent, please get in touch and we'd be happy to verify it for you. We would also like to reassure you that we do not release, sell or share any data related to the Tes SEND Show North with any outside parties. Find out more here.
