Across the two days, attendees can select from over 220 sessions. We’ve condensed this year’s content to ensure great value for attendees. Alongside our festival keynote speeches, there will be a selection of strands covering topics including Artificial Intelligence, Ofsted, Cognitive Science, SEND and sustainability. Plus, we will have our usual diverse line-up of Festival sessions covering a broad spectrum of topics for all educators.
We will start announcing Festival Keynotes in March. Festival strand and session information will be released from late April.
