At our last show we were joined by thousands of education professionals, exhibitors, expert speakers and practitioners from across the UK! Our main aim was to uncover the day-to-day challenges faced across the education sector and reveal the plans for a brighter future for pupils and education professionals across the country.
After seven years as a one day show, the event returned offering a two-day format allowing school leaders more dedicated content, the opportunity to choose one or two days to attend, more innovative suppliers and a wide array of new and exciting features aiming to further the conversation around a change in the education sector.
Take a look at our highlights of 2019!
