An invitation-only gathering on pedagogy and the future of learning, set in the city that has thought longest about what school is for.
During the summit there will be Keynote speakers from different fields coming together to share their expertise and vision for education and business. Come hear from voices across education, business, and research — and join the conversation.
Speakers from education, business, and research sharing their expertise and vision. Perspectives that challenge, inform, and inspire across sectors.
Panel discussions and a joint workshop designed to surface current themes in Education and Educational Business — raising questions through conversation and new points of view.
Recognition awards for successful school leaders who have managed to implement change and try something new, successfully. Celebrating courage in practice.
The day closes with a social mixer and dinner — the room gets smaller, the conversations get better. The connections made here don't replicate on a conference call.
We aim to raise questions and ideas through conversations and new points of view. The day will bring together leaders from across the sector — educators, researchers, and business voices — for a programme built around depth, not density.
There is no single formula for a great school — but there is a better understanding. This summit is where that conversation begins.
Take this time for yourself — as a school owner, leader, or educator. Come to brainstorm, debate, and connect with peers who are asking the same questions. The programme brings together panels, workshop, and open conversation around five themes that matter right now.
These are the conversations we believe every school leader should be having — but rarely gets the space to have.
The summit draws on the OECD's Results from the Teacher Knowledge Survey — the research that shows how education systems can actively develop pedagogical knowledge, and why it is the highest-leverage investment a school can make.
The Summit is hosted in Hub 1, a striking auditorium wrapped by a panoramic LED wall of the Finnish archipelago, a few minutes' walk from the Esplanadi and Senate Square.
