Voices across
education, business,
and research.
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.
Multi-field keynotes
Speakers from education, business, and research sharing their expertise and vision. Perspectives that challenge, inform, and inspire across sectors.
Multi-perspective panels
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.
Honouring school leaders
Recognition awards for successful school leaders who have managed to implement change and try something new, successfully. Celebrating courage in practice.
Social mixer & dinner
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.
