EduFringe Programme

Invite only

Sponsored by: AECOM

Visit stand 701 to meet the fantastic young DEC students (and their teachers!) from Stratford upon Avon School and Alder Grange School who are showcasing their work, discussing their personal learning journeys - and their ambitions for the industry.

Those committed to social value that is ‘less talk, more action’ will discover the innovative approach that makes school engagement and talent development child’s play – such as that of adopter TG Escapes, whose commitment supports nearly 1000 children at Stratford upon Avon School.

Visit NVC Lighting Limited (Stand 500) to see a product demo for our YALE PRO light fitting, which features an innovative curved diffuser that achieves low glare, a design typically only possible on flat surfaces. Low-glare lighting, like YALE PRO, is especially beneficial in educational settings such as classrooms and corridors, where it can enhance cognitive performance and well-being.

As the urgency amongst the industry to address climate change grows, schools and colleges are feeling increasing pressure to begin their path towards net-zero, but with ever-changing terminology and buzzwords, they are often left daunted by the task, not knowing where to start or whether they can afford the work.
Nigel Aylwin-Foster’s presentation ''How to get to net-zero affordably & efficiently'' aims to address the concerns of schools and colleges that are feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of beginning their transition to estate decarbonisation. The presentation seeks to break down the jargon associated with net-zero, provide practical guidance on how schools should get started, what the government line is, and confront the inevitable fears associated with the subject matter.

Join us for a Champagne Reception to celebrate our 21st birthday. 3pm, day 1 on stand 431.

Explore the remarkable transformation of Three Rivers Academy. From temporary classrooms to a state-of-the-art facility, Three Rivers Academy’s self-funded journey earned a nomination for the prestigious World Architecture Award—all achieved without government funding. Building schools for nothing? Yes, it’s possible. Learn how at stand 312.

EduFest is a complimentary drinks reception, bringing together delegates, visitors, exhibitors and speakers in the central catering area.

DJ Markus will be providing a live set.
