Holly Tinsley, managing editor of Education Executive, said: “2025 was a year of exceptional growth for the EdExec LIVE programme and we’re going even further in 2026. The feedback we’ve had from SBLs at each of our events has been extremely positive, but we know that the school business community wants and needs more – more local events, more regional support and solutions and more opportunities tailored to their schools and communities. As we continue to work with regional groups across the UK, we are building up to something bigger, better and more inspiring than ever.”
What to Expect in 2026
Each EdExec LIVE event will once again feature:
- Expert-led seminars on pressing sector issues such as funding, procurement, compliance and sustainability
- Practical workshops with strategies to take back to schools immediately
- Regional focus sessions, tailored to local challenges and opportunities
- Networking opportunities that connect SBLs with peers, suppliers and sector leaders
- Exhibitor hall showcasing innovative solutions and services for schools
Full details of the 2026 seminar programmes, speakers and ticketing information will be announced in the coming months. Delegates are encouraged to keep an eye on edexec.co.uk and EdExec LIVE | school business management.
