If you didn’t attend or would like a recap, here are the highlights of the event.

Insightful Summits

The star of the show! We hosted three summits, which were IT, Education, and HR. During these summits, service leads explored trending topics, shared expert insights, and discussed real-world challenges facing schools today.

These summits were designed to keep you informed, spark inspiration, and provide practical takeaways you can apply in your setting.

Interactive Roundtables

These collaborative spaces were designed for attendees to connect with nearby schools, share experiences, and exchange practical advice on the topics that matter most - based on schools feedback before the event. Service specialists from Bucks Council were also in the room to support and contribute to the discussions.

Roundtables that were hosted:

• Energy roundtable: Invoicing, efficiency, & solar PV potential
