WHY VISIT?

INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS CONFERENCE

The Independent Schools Conference will once again be co-located with the Schools & Academies Show and the EdTech Summit. The partnership will provide delegates with more opportunities for networking, a larger exhibition hall to source leading suppliers, and the chance to connect with the wider education community.

Bringing together leading educators under one roof, there’s no better place to network, discuss solutions, meet policymakers, and engage with hours of practical content dedicated to the most pressing issues facing independent schools today. Our agenda is aimed at empowering independent schools with solutions to navigate and prepare for change, as well as equipping you with the tools you need to have a tangible impact at your school.

With more exhibitors, speakers, and visitors than ever before, this year’s conference is set to be our most impactful yet!

  • It is singularly the best method of hearing the most up to date guidance and advice from key figures in the industry. An excellently curated and led conference.

    Deputy Headteacher

  • A conference where, as a school leader, you find the concerns and thoughts you have been mulling over in isolation are being discussed by peers and solutions are being articulated.

    Director of Safeguarding and Compliance

  • An excellent event, which I’d recommend to any education professional.

    Headteacher

  • This is hands down the best conference I attend every year. Many of the others centre around eminent speakers pontificating but not really giving you any "off the shelf" solutions. This conference shows you an issue and then presents you with the partners that help you to solve it. Brilliant.

    Headteacher

  • Felt that the event began with a strong theme and the talks were connected to that theme. This made the event very cohesive and I learned a lot.

    Programme Manager - International and Independent Schools

  • A great way to meet like-minded people.

    Head of Safeguarding

  • A well organised, interesting and informative conference. Would highly recommend.

    Chair of Governors

  • This was a well-organised conference with a broad spectrum of topical themes and briefings in plenary and break-out sessions that are carefully designed to appeal to independent school leaders and managers. I would recommend attendance at this conference to meet others and to learn useful insights.

    Head of Communications

  • I look forward to this conference every year. Its a great place for school leaders and senior managers to come together to share their thoughts on current trends in education. There are ample networking opportunities and the plenary talks and sessions are thoughtful crafted to make the most of our time away from school.
