SHOW AGENDA OVERVIEW

This year’s conference will focus on empowering Independent Schools with practical solutions to navigate and prepare for change.

Our curated agenda places a spotlight on how schools can better innovate to transform their infrastructure, operations, marketing, and culture to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

BEST-IN-CLASS SPEAKERS

We’ve invited a stellar line-up of independent school leaders and industry experts to share their invaluable experience, insights, and inspiration, empowering you to spark tangible changes at your school.

Join us to be part of the discussion in shaping the future of tomorrow's independent schools.

Through co-location, exhibitors and visitors will benefit from being about to meet and network with attendees from both shows, ensuring a chance to liaise with like-minded peers within the school community, as well as meeting senior leadership teams from wider schools and MATS.
