The agenda is built around the real challenges facing MAT leaders right now. Expect sessions on financial sustainability, recruitment and retention, digital transformation and AI, school improvement, SEND and inclusion, workforce wellbeing, governance and centralisation, and trust growth and mergers. Topics are shaped by delegate registration responses to ensure the agenda reflects current sector priorities.

The event runs over two days with a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions, real-world case studies, interactive roundtable sessions, and Dragons' Den speed pitches. You'll hear from MAT CEOs, COOs, and Directors sharing honest lessons from their own trusts, followed by solution provider presentations. There's also dedicated time for one-to-one meetings, networking lunch, drinks reception, and a networking dinner.

Yes. While keynote and main room sessions are open to all delegates, you can select which roundtable and breakout sessions are most relevant to your trust's current priorities. Your pre-booked one-to-one meetings are scheduled around the agenda, giving you flexibility to attend the sessions that matter most to you.

Yes. You'll also receive a conference guide with speaker profiles, case studies, and sponsor information. After the event, all delegates receive digital copies of the presentations.

We strongly recommend attending the full two-day event to get maximum value. The agenda is designed so that key themes develop across both days, and your pre-booked meetings are spread throughout. That said, if you can only attend one day, let us know during registration and we'll work with you to ensure you don't miss the sessions most relevant to your priorities.
