EducationScape is delighted to announce a new partnership with Blackberry Events as we embark on an exciting new chapter for the Inspiring Leadership in Education Conference.

Building on the success and legacy of one of the UK’s most respected leadership events, Inspiring Leaders in Education Conference 2027 (ILEC) will return bigger, bolder and broader than ever before, bringing together leaders from across the education sector for two inspiring days at Convene Sancroft, St Paul’s, London.

The conference will be delivered in strategic partnership with NAHT, ensuring the voice of education leaders remains at the heart of its future development.

Attendees can continue to expect everything that has made Inspiring Leadership such a valued fixture in the education calendar: inspiring keynote speakers, thought-provoking workshops, practical leadership insights and unrivalled opportunities to connect with peers from across the profession.

Alongside these much-loved elements, ILEC 2027 will introduce a refreshed brand, a prestigious new venue and an expanded programme designed to reflect the breadth of leadership across modern education.

For the first time, the conference will actively bring together leaders from every phase and setting. Primary and secondary headteachers will be joined by trust executives, college principals, further education leaders, independent training providers, higher education professionals and aspiring leaders. This broader approach reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of education and creates a unique opportunity for collaboration across sectors that do not often come together at scale.

At a time of rapid change, ILEC 2027 will provide a forum for sharing ideas, tackling common challenges and exploring the innovations shaping the future of learning, leadership and organisational culture.

The partnership between EducationScape and Blackberry Events combines extensive experience in delivering high-quality events with a shared commitment to professional growth, collaboration and impact. Together, alongside NAHT, we are creating a leadership conference that is more inclusive, more representative and more relevant than ever before.
