The Education Estates® Sustainability Conference returns on Thursday 5 February 2026, bringing together everyone to share knowledge and best practice on how to reduce carbon emissions and drive sustainable change across the education estate.
Now in its fourth year, the conference has firmly established itself as a must-attend event for decision-makers from schools, colleges, universities, multi-academy trusts, and local & national government. It also attracts the architects, consultants, contractors and key suppliers who play a vital role in delivering on the sector’s ambitions.
After three successful editions, we’re delighted to announce that the 2026 conference will be moving to ExCeL London. The new venue not only allows us to welcome even more delegates committed to driving sustainable change across the education estate but also provides world-class facilities and is underpinned by a bold Sustainability Strategy.
We’re also excited to share that delegates will be able to access the Education Estates® SEND Conference and a combined networking area. This is a valuable opportunity to explore how sustainable and inclusive design go hand in hand.
Registration is now open and the conference programme is live!
