Your SAASHOW pass provides access to all co-located events, so you can benefit from connecting with a wider audience, accessing more CPD and meeting with a diverse range of market-leading suppliers.

  • Would highly recommend. A packed and varied agenda covering the key areas in education, all under one roof! Opportunities to network and leave the event with a wealth of practical ideas to put into practice in school.

    Deputy Headteacher, Parklands High School

  • Attending the Schools & Academies Show was an incredibly valuable experience. The event provided me with a wealth of insights into the latest trends, tools, and strategies in education, from expert-led seminars to insightful panel discussions. I left with lots of ideas and powerful questions to take back and discuss with colleagues across my Trust, as well as a deeper understanding of emerging technologies and solutions to enhance teaching and operations.

    Deputy Director, HISP Teaching School Hub

  • Such a positive atmosphere, and so many new ideas to take back to school - my day at the show was packed with informative talks from expert speakers and the buzz of innovative exhibitors who took a real interest in my school's needs. I'll be back next year!

    Teacher of Learning Support and English, Ampleforth College

  • The day was an incredible opportunity to achieve a great deal in a short space of time! Time is precious and to have access to so many great speakers and suppliers under one roof was fantastic.

    Headteacher, St Peter's Catholic Primary School

  • This show continues to improve year-on-year, and the speakers address the most pressing and topical issue for schools. Brilliant!

    SBM, St Monica's Catholic Primary School

  • It was an excellent day, great speakers and content with a variety of organisations grouped into focus areas which made it easy to locate companies I was interested in. Being a free event was also a big help when schools are facing such huge financial burdens.

    Business Manager, Ulverston Victoria High School

  • Well worth taking the time to experience the Schools & Academies Show. Good choice of sessions and speakers to support your area of work and all the main suppliers and additional ones that you might not have considered. You will definitely walk away gaining knowledge and even reassurance that you are fulfilling your role correctly!

    Trust Operations Manager, Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Academies Trust

  • A great show and well worth going. You gather inspiring ideas. You see what the latest in technology can do for the school. Good to talk to others that can support but also that reassurance of what you are doing!
