If you've partnered with us before, you'll notice our combo packages are no longer available.

Here's the honest reason. Running these conferences costs more every year. We had two options: lift the ticket price for everyone, or step back the package discounts. We chose the second. That way the standard ticket price stays exactly where it was, and no school faces a higher per-student cost than before.

Same conference. Same impact. A price we've worked hard to keep where it is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much preparation is required from teachers?

Very little. Once you've booked, we handle the content, speakers and facilitation. Your school simply arranges transport, supervision and getting students there on the day — we take care of the rest.

How far in advance should we book?

As early as you can. Our conferences and programs fill quickly, especially in our busiest months — February, March, November and December. Booking early gives you the best choice of dates and cities.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

All cancellations must be made in writing to info@ylaaus.com, and the date we receive your notice sets the refund tier. For events: 16+ weeks before the event = full refund; 8–16 weeks = 75% refunded; 4–8 weeks = 25% refunded; under 4 weeks = non-refundable and non-transferable. In-school programs follow a separate schedule. Please read the full terms & conditions.
