ICT for Education is hosting six UK-wide conferences in 2018. Our conferences for the year are shown on the right.
Each conference is a combination of speaker sessions, along with an exhibition.
At each conference exhibition, there are up to 50 companies supplying IT products and services to UK schools.
Conference doors open at 7.45 am. The exhibition closes at 1.15 pm as the delegates go to the final session after the lunch break.
Delegates have a wide range of job titles but all are key decision makers and influencers in the purchasing decisions made by their schools when it comes to IT products and services.
Delegate pre-registration is usually between 150 and 180, with on-the-day attendance typically between 90 and 130 representing between 55-70 individual schools.
Our conferences are not about numbers of delegates, but about numbers of schools and representation from people exhibitors want to speak with.
All exhibitors receive the pre-registration data one week prior to the event and receive all data on the Monday following the conference. We urge exhibitors to make good use of the pre-registration data to maximise their time at conference.
We offer a range of stands and promotional opportunities for those wishing to do business with schools represented at conferences.
We make every effort to ensure that exhibitors get valuable face-face time with delegates, with well scheduled breaks between conference sessions and lunch platters on every exhibitor stand / table-top, so that delegates must come to your stand if they wish to eat!
Lunch and refreshments are provided for exhibitors as part of the exhibitor package.
