The conversation doesn't have to end when the event does
Education Estates® Voices is a brand-new publication from STEP CONNECT2, produced in association with Education Estates® 2026. It's a curated collection of expert papers drawn directly from the sessions and speakers at this year's event, capturing the national conversation around the education estate in a lasting, shareable format.
Education Estates® is where schools, colleges and universities come together to share knowledge, challenge thinking and drive improvement across the sector. With so much going on across multiple stages, it can be a real challenge to decide which session to attend at which time, and until now, you may have left wondering what you missed.
Voices changes that. It's a collection of expert papers selected from this year's confirmed speakers, capturing the thinking behind their sessions in one place, a valuable source of information from across the sector, whether or not you were in the room. You'll have something tangible to take away, share with colleagues, and come back to long after the event.
Voices is structured around the six key areas of the Education Estates® programme:
Shaping Tomorrow
Improve and Renew the Estate
Build and Rebuild the Estate
Sustainability
Manage the Estate
Every paper is written by a confirmed Education Estates® 2026 speaker, reflecting the thinking behind their session, and mapped to one of these six areas.
How to get your copy
A premium printed guide will be distributed to speakers, Leaders in Estates Programme participants and VIPs at the event on 20 October.
A digital version will follow by email to all delegates, exhibitors and sponsors on day two of the event, 21 October 2026.

Every one of our events brings together people who know their sector inside out, and puts them in a room to share what they know. But with so much going on across multiple stages, it can be a real challenge to decide which session to attend at which time, and you may have left wondering what you missed.
Once the event ends, delegates go back to their day jobs and speakers move on to the next thing. We're proud that our events inspire real change, and ContentIQ takes that further, generating more ideas, encouraging a wider exchange of expertise, and leaving you with a reference document to return to when it's time to revive the thinking that started at the event.
