The SEND Leadership Summit is returning for its third year! The Summit is a one-day conference within the main Tes SEND Show and provides an opportunity for education leaders to learn alongside peers and thought leaders within the sector. This year’s theme centres around ‘Putting SEND and inclusion at the heart of school improvement’, and encourages attendees to challenge current thinking, as well as entering into discussion and debate around how tangible change can be implemented on a practical level.

Your summit ticket gives you:

  • Access to the main Tes SEND Show Friday keynote session
  • Exclusive access to the Leadership Summit keynote
  • Interactive workshops run by prominent figures within the sector
  • Lunch and refreshments throughout the day
  • Exclusive breakfast for Leadership Summit delegates, available on a first-come, first-served basis at no additional cost (pre-registration required for catering purposes)

What should I expect? 

The keynote and workshop sessions will be run by those at the forefront of driving change for SEND and the workshops will allow time for activities and reflection. The programme timetable also includes opportunities for delegates to visit the exhibition and they will receive exclusive access to speaker contact details after the event. With music provided by Henry.
