Exhibit and Sponsor

The Schools & Academies Show is where thousands of school and MAT leaders come to find real solutions to urgent sector challenges. As an exhibitor, you'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the most trusted suppliers in education, building pipeline, growing brand authority, and securing valuable, face-to-face time with budget-holders actively looking to buy.

Fast-Track Your Pipeline With Education Decision-Makers

No gatekeepers. No wasted time. Just direct access to the education sector’s senior decision-makers, so you can fast-track relationships, start meaningful sales conversations, and build a stronger pipeline. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, make sure you’re in the room when they do.

Position Your Brand as a Trusted Partner in the Sector

Standing out in the education sector requires more than just access, it demands trust and credibility. Exhibiting and sponsoring at the show puts your brand front and centre, showcasing your expertise to senior decision-makers actively seeking reliable solutions. This visibility accelerates buyer confidence, making you the go-to provider when procurement decisions are made.

Accelerate Business Growth With Focused Conversions

Don’t just meet decision-makers, turn those connections into impactful business outcomes. Exhibiting at the Schools & Academies Show gives you the chance to engage directly, demonstrate your value, and close deals that drive sustainable growth. This is where visibility and conversations translate into measurable success and lasting partnerships.

Two Events. One National Platform.

Each year, we run two flagship editions of the Schools & Academies Show, one in Birmingham and one in London. While each event offers a unique regional focus, both bring together influential decision-makers from across the education sector, giving you twice the opportunity to engage, connect and convert.

Take advantage of a uniquely connected audience. By exhibiting at the Birmingham Show, you’ll be placed at the centre of multiple education communities, from schools and academies to independent institutions, universities and edtech innovators. That means more senior leaders, more conversations, and more opportunities to grow your presence across the wider education sector, all in one place.
