“We were thoroughly impressed with Education Estates®. It was a well-organised event and we had the opportunity to engage with exactly the right type of people for our business. The conference brought together key decision-makers and influencers in the education sector, allowing us to showcase our products and build meaningful connections. The atmosphere was positive, professional and focused on innovation within the industry, which aligns perfectly with our goals. We look forward to exhibiting at future events.” – Sangita Mistry, NVC Lighting

“Education Estates® 2024 was again a "barn-storming success": top-tier key note speakers, more delegates, more presentations from thought and practice leaders, more exhibitors, more awards and public recognition for those in the sector. This event has established itself as the "go to" conference for those working in the estates function of the education sector, we recommend attending without reservation!”

It's a great combination of an interesting conference programme with real-life case studies and a vibrant marketplace of exhibitors covering a wide range of disciplines and interests. Brilliant CPD and networking for me and my team. We always leave with new ideas and good contacts. Thank you.”

“Education Estates® is the first date I look for in my calendar! The venue is excellent in terms of facilities and location but the quality of the delegates, for me, is what sets it apart from other events. As a growing SME, having so many decision makers in one place for two days is amazing. Can’t wait for next year!”

“Attending the Education Estates® event was a fantastic experience. It provided an excellent opportunity to network, make valuable contacts and stay informed about the latest legislative updates. As someone new to the role of an estate manager, I found it incredibly beneficial to learn from others and share insights about the common challenges we face. The event was a great platform for knowledge sharing and personal growth in the field.”
