As the highlight of the year for those involved in the design, build, maintenance, and management of education infrastructure, Education Estates® 2026 is a must-attend event for Leaders shaping the future of our learning environments.

This two-day event features a multi-stream conference, an innovative exhibition, and the prestigious Education Estates® Awards, offering a unique platform for sharing best practice and driving improvement across the sector.

Why Leaders Should Attend

For members of the Education Estates® Leaders Network, this is the flagship moment of the year to:

• Connect and collaborate with fellow Leaders across the UK and Ireland
• Gain insight from sessions tailored to current challenges and priorities
• Explore the latest thinking, strategies, and solutions

Throughout the event, there will be multiple chances for Education Estates® Leaders Network members to connect through informal meet-ups, breakout sessions, and on-stand conversations. It’s an ideal space to share experiences and strengthen relationships.
