Attendees at the show will gain access to over 30 hours of CPD certified content, spanning seven themed seminar theatres, including SEND, Business & Finance and School Improvement, ensuring the show attracts a broad range of education professionals and key decision makers.

The show’s organisers are also thrilled to introduce the brand-new Teaching and Learning Theatre for 2023, providing front-line teachers and practitioners with best-practice examples of teaching in the classroom and advice to take back to their school, academy or MAT.



Hear from leading practitioners, experts and DfE officials

The show will bring together the sector’s most decorated and inspiring speakers to share their knowledge, expertise and practical guidance, including representatives from the Department for Education, ISBL, National Governance Association, Education Policy Institute, NAHT and more!

Each speaker, dedicated to their respective craft across the education sector, will lead in either a keynote session, live debate or discussion, or tailored workshop, ensuring visitors feel empowered, inspired and ready to implement key techniques, guidance and resources at the forefront of their institution to drive significant improvements.
