The Countdown to the Schools & Academies Show is on
It’s now less than a month until the Schools & Academies Show, the UK’s leading education policy event, returns to the Excel, London for a day of education innovation and inspiration.
Returning on 15th May, we’ve stepped up our efforts and will be introducing new interactive show features to elevate your event experience and ensure visitors leave with action points, new ideas and tangible solutions to navigate their most pressing challenges and enrich pupil outcomes.
Following a successful launch in 2024, the show will once again host EdTech Innovate, the School Estates Summit and the SEND Conference. Your free SAASHOW pass provides access to all three co-located events, so you can benefit from connecting with a wider audience, accessing more CPD-content and meeting with a diverse range of market-leading suppliers on site.
