WE ARE RETURNING TO BIRMINGHAM FOR OUR FIRST FACE-TO-FACE EVENT SINCE 2019!

After successfully running two online events, we are delighted to confirm that we will be returning to Birmingham for our first live show since 2019! Taking place at the NEC, Birmingham on the 17th – 18th of November, we will be bringing together the education community for two days of learning, networking and procuring.

As usual, we will be gathering the biggest names in education to share their best-practice advice, policy updates and insights. Visitors will have the platform to connect with fellow leaders and innovative suppliers, tackle the biggest challenges in the sector and take away practical tips and advice.

If you are an education supplier, then this is a fantastic opportunity for you to gain brand exposure and meet with education leaders and decision-makers at the first major live education event of the year. Click below to learn more…

HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR PREVIOUS LIVE SHOW

Across the two days of our previous live show, over 4,000 education professionals and suppliers came together to share knowledge and experiences with their peers and learn through best-practice case studies, panel discussions, workshops and keynote presentations, which featured over 160 education leaders, practitioners and pioneers.

Attendees also discovered the latest educational solutions for their organisation from more than 230 exhibitors and heard from the wider sector how the supplier market can provide the solutions and expertise to drive efficiencies in their school and ensure positive outcomes for pupils and staff.

NEW FOR 2021!

MAT ZONE

This zone is one of the new features to the Schools & Academies Show which is entirely dedicated to MATs. To find solutions to help with the day-to-day running of your MAT, this zone is an area of the show floor you must visit. With a dedicated ‘MAT Summit’ and ‘MAT Matchmaking Area’, you will have the platform to hear the latest insights and updates, whilst networking with fellow MAT leaders.

WELLBEING & SAFEGUARDING STAGE

The pandemic has had an impact on everyone’s mental wellbeing, including children and young people. As we begin to learn more about this, we have decided to introduce a stage dedicated to wellbeing and safeguarding. Please visit our agenda to learn more about the topics that will be covered.

TEQBALL ARENA

The Teqball Arena is a small area sponsored by Teqball; who will be providing an interactive area for visitors to take part in their new sport using a curved table, combining elements of football and table tennis.

CPL VILLAGE

The CPL Village, hosted by Crescent Purchasing Consortium will feature a range of leading education framework suppliers offering practical advice and techniques for saving schools money on every day services and purchases. Plus there will be a dedicated procurement stage featuring insightful presentations and case studies throughout the two days of the show.

HOSTED LEADER LOUNGE

Earlier this year, we launched our ‘Hosted Leader Programme’ which provided a specific list of perks for school leaders that registered for the programme. For our first live show since 2019, we will be providing a dedicated lounge for our hosted leaders. There will be tea, coffee and refreshments served whilst having the platform to network with fellow leaders.

WHAT PREVIOUS EXHIBITORS HAD TO SAY

“The highlight for me has been the quality of the conversations we were having with some of the key decision makers, CEOs and headteachers who came over to talk to us and being absolutely inundated on the stand and I think a lot of follow up from our sessions, people were really interested in some of the joint work that we do and how they can take that back to their schools or trusts.”
Jenny Elliot, CEO - EPM
“We’ve had some really good conversations with people, not just PE staff but also lots of governors, principals, business managers and finance directors. So for us, it’s really good, a lot of the time it’s very difficult to get in front of those people.”
Tom Walton, Multi Sport Project Development Manager - Notts Sport
“We get to meet existing customers who’ve used us before and I want them to come back and get an update of what’s new within the business. We also get to meet lots of new schools, academies and trusts who maybe have not heard of our brand before and it’s a perfect opportunity for us to have that conversation and let them know what we’re capable of delivering”
Darren Lowe, Managing Director - Tenet
“Tutor In A Box is a brand new company so for us, attending the Schools & Academies Show was a no-brainer because it’s been really good getting our name out there. So yesterday, we had loads and loads of teachers coming over, headteachers, and all engaging and asking what it was about. Nobody had heard of us before and nobody has seen us before. It’s a really good platform for us to showcase what we do…”
Sophie Parker, Founder - Tutor In A Box
“It’s important for us to be at the Schools & Academies Show because there’s not a lot of shows in the Midlands. So for us, it gives us a better reach into the Midlands and the North and also give us an opportunity to network with lots of trusts and schools…”
Mark Dew, National Sales Manager - Vestel
