A TeachMeet is an informal conference-style meeting held by teachers all around the world in an effort to work together for better CPD (continued professional development) and mutual support, as well as to share ideas and to provide inspiration for good practice.
First taking place in Edinburgh in 2006, TeachMeet often runs alongside educational events such as the British Educational Technology and Training Show or the Scottish Learning Festival.
Countries that hold TeachMeets regularly include Canada, the UK, the USA and New Zealand.
During TeachMeets, participants are encouraged to volunteer to share any ideas or good practice that they have come across in the previous year or time period.
Presentations of different sorts form the main part of TeachMeets, with round-table discussions and random speakers also forming important roles.
As a matter of principle, TeachMeets never charges any entry fees to its gatherings and are open to teachers and non-teachers alike.
