Seminars
What seminars and speakers can we expect?
Seminars are expert-led and address the pressing matters impacting the education sector and school business management. Sessions cover finance, funding and income generation, marketing, premises, catering, management and all the acronyms – CPD, HR, ICT, GDPR.
Seminar sessions will run for 50 minutes and consist of a presentation, workshop or panel-style delivery on a topic, followed by time for Q&As. We carefully build our seminar itinerary based on issues we know are pertinent to SBMs and current school planning issues and aim for a good mix of topics, so there should be plenty of choice to suit everyone.
Speakers include practicing business managers, finance and trust directors, CEOs, CFOs, independent consultants, authors… all sector experts and all on-hand to ensure that you have access to the information that you need.
