  • An excellent show - with fantastic speakers. I came away feeling more knowledgeable.

  • The event was highly inspiring and thought provoking. It has given me topics and company information that I can take back to the wider senior leadership team, and items I can disseminate at CPD.

  • I feel more enthused and informed to be an effective SEN leader having attended the show. It was a shame that the SEN part was so far away from the main event.

    SENCO, St Mary Cray Primary Academy

  • A great show for networking and meeting other professions. Excellent SEN sessions.

    SENCO, St Pauls C of E Primary School

  • Excellent place to see distributors relevant to the education sector - lots of goodies too!
