FAQs:
How are sessions delivered?
We’ve developed a line-up which features sector leaders who are all experts in their fields to provide you with tangible content that will make a real difference to you and your school. Seminars run for 50 minutes on average with time for Q&A at the end. Seminars take place in breakout areas near the main event space, which is where you can find the exhibition and have the opportunity to network with peers.
How flexible is the day?
Very flexible! You can attend as many, or as little seminars as you like. Throughout the day you can spend your time either learning, networking or speaking to exhibitors. We optimise our timetable to maximise your time ─ so, you can attend optional sessions or opt to network (or work!) ─ as well as enjoy lunch, coffee and networking breaks.
