The Advisory Group brings together leading figures from across education, government, design and the wider built environment to help shape the direction of Education Estates® in Focus. Their expertise ensures the event addresses the practical realities, priorities and ambitions of those tackling sustainability, SEND provision and estate management across England's education estate.

Members are drawn from across the sector: estates and facilities leadership within multi-academy trusts, local authorities and universities, architecture and design practices, main contractors and framework partners, and policy specialists within the Department for Education. The group's insight feeds directly into the conference programme, from session themes to the speakers invited to lead them, keeping the discussion grounded in the day-to-day realities of delivering safe, sustainable and inclusive learning spaces.
