What attendees think

A fantastic conference offering an insight into independent schools and their challenges. Great speakers and opportunities to network with colleagues from the whole Independent scene.

A great event with a good spectrum of important topics and sharp and honest speakers, and the exhibition booths are fun to visit!

Excellent conference with plenty of useful themes and workshops, range of exhibitors, nice venue and catering (promotion of healthy eating throughout the day), meeting and networking with others. Extremely well organised. I left the conference very enthusiastic!

An excellent chance to hear a range of speakers, on the current issues in independent education.
