BRING YOUR TEAM TO THE #SAASHOW

Mapping the Future of Your School Together

Empower Your Team and Spark Positive Change

Elevate your impact at the Schools & Academies Show with our exclusive ‘Bring Your Team’ scheme. Designed for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) across the UK, the programme is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and collective growth.

This year, the Schools & Academies Show Birmingham will be hosting over 200+ exhibitors, 50+ hours of CPD-accredited content, and co-located events: the EdTech Summit and the Independent Schools Conference. As such, there is too much taking place across one day for an individual to cover, which presents an unmissable opportunity for MAT teams to cover more content than ever before, all in one day, under one roof.

Bring 3+ members of your MAT to access exclusive benefits, delve into a diverse range of topics and leave with practical strategies to implement within your MAT. By attending as a team, you’ll benefit from learning new processes, finding innovative technologies, and sourcing solutions from the UK’s leading education suppliers.

The ‘Bring Your Team’ scheme allows you to place your MAT at the centre of the conversation and make the most of your Schools & Academies Show experience so you can enhance your MAT’s performance and pupil outcomes. Register your interest in joining the show via the link below and download our MAT Toolkit for more information.

The Benefits: Why Bring Your Team?

EXPLORE THE EXHIBITION FLOOR

With over 200 of the UK’s most innovative and influential education suppliers offering exclusive discounts, product demos, and free advice, it’s nearly impossible to make it to everyone in one day. By bringing your team, you’ll save countless hours sourcing solutions as you can prioritise areas of the exhibition floor, or products and services that your MAT and schools require.

ACCESS MORE CPD-CERTIFIED CONTENT

There are over 40 hours of dedicated best-practice keynote sessions, case studies, and showcases taking place across ten highly topical theatres across the one-day show. To ensure you never miss a session relevant to your MAT’s needs, bring your team to split time across theatres and maximise the practical takeaways and insights you carry back to your school. Each visitor will also earn 7 CPD points towards professional development.

ADDITIONAL NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES

The show features an array of networking opportunities throughout the day, from the Government Education Village where you can meet and gain 1-2-1 advice from teams at the Department for Education, through to our ConnectEd Lounge where you can conduct private meetings which can be prearranged in our pre-event networking platform. You’ll also receive an exclusive invitation to our pre-event networking drinks reception at the Lake Lounge in Resorts World. By bringing your team, you can meet all of your key stakeholders and network with new colleagues all in one day.

THE MAT SUMMIT

Connect with fellow Multi-Academy Trust leaders at the dedicated MAT Summit, where you’ll delve into the critical issues impacting MATs, for instance, MAT growth, trust development, strategic planning and navigating the unique complexities of trusts.

COMPLIMENTARY LUNCH

Enjoy a free lunch on us, with every individual attending as part of the ‘Bring Your Team’ incentive receiving a £10 lunch voucher to use at any of the food outlets at the NEC. These can be collected from a member of our team at the SAAS Content Lounge (Stand C6).

In 2024, we welcomed 1,100 representatives from 300 MATs across the UK.

Here’s what they had to say about their experience at the SAAShow:

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