Tom Bennett Australia & New Zealand Behaviour Tour 2026
In May 2026, Tom Bennett, founder of researchED and author of Running the Room, will be visiting Australia and New Zealand for a focused programme of keynotes, conferences and intensive professional development events.
The tour begins in Auckland, where Tom will keynote at researchED New Zealand on 2 May, bringing together educators committed to evidence-informed practice and better behaviour cultures in schools.
From there, Tom will work across Australia with schools, systems and conferences in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, delivering his flagship Running the Room training and supporting leaders to build calm, orderly and academically ambitious classrooms.
This visit is an opportunity to discover Tom’s highly practical behaviour training for teachers and school leaders. Events are designed for professionals who want clear, evidence-grounded strategies that work in real classrooms.
Availability is limited in each location. If your school or system would like to host additional work while Tom is in the region, enquiries are welcome.
