The ISBA Annual Conference provides the opportunity to gain fresh sector perspectives from expert speakers, meet specialist suppliers and connect with peers all under one roof.
Whether your school is large or small, prep or senior, UK-based or international, it’s your time to focus on your school or group priorities, explore opportunities, and take away innovative ideas and practical actions you can put into practice back at school.
Why attend the Conference
As a bursar, part of the finance team, a head, governor or member of the operational team, the conference offers you time to think strategically and connect with peers and trusted suppliers who help strengthen efficient, safe and sustainable school operations.
Sessions explore many of the key issues shaping school operations today, including changes in employment law, evolving parental expectations, financial sustainability, safeguarding, risk management and the growing role of technology and artificial intelligence in schools.
The ISBA exhibition
With more than 180 suppliers and professional advisors to independent schools, the exhibition provides a valuable opportunity to connect with trusted partners, discover new services and technologies, and explore innovations designed to help schools operate more efficiently.
Meet with caterers, architects, consultants, law teams, financial planners, support services, minibus companies, equipment suppliers, digital technology experts and many many more.
