Frequently Asked Questions
MATPN is designed for senior leaders across Multi Academy Trusts, including Chief Executives, Deputy CEOs, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Directors of Education, and senior leaders across digital, HR, SEND, and operations. If you're driving strategic change across your trust, this event is for you.
No. Senior MAT leaders can apply for a complimentary delegate pass, which includes an overnight stay at the venue as well as all meals and refreshments – you will never be asked to pay. Simply complete our registration form and we'll review your application.
You'll connect with peers facing the same trust-level pressures, discover proven approaches from MATs already delivering results, and engage with suppliers offering relevant solutions. All in a focused, distraction-free environment designed for meaningful conversation and practical takeaways.
As a delegate, you'll have the opportunity to select pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings with solution providers relevant to your current priorities. These are arranged in advance and built into the agenda, so you arrive knowing exactly who you'll meet and why.
MATPN is not a trade show or a lecture series. It's a closed, invitation-only forum where senior trust leaders set the agenda. Sessions are shaped by delegate priorities, discussions are peer-led, and every element is designed to produce practical, actionable outcomes – not just conversation.
When you register, you'll be asked about your trust's current priorities and challenges. Your responses directly inform the agenda, session topics, and the solution providers invited to attend – ensuring the event reflects what matters most to you and your peers.
We're running six events across 2026: MATPN North (Manchester, 5–6 March), MATPN Digital, Data & AI (London, 21 May), MATPN Midlands (Nottingham, 25–26 June), MATPN South West (Bath, 1–2 October), MATPN Finance (London, 12 November), and MATPN South (Heathrow, 26–27 November). You're welcome to attend one or more.
MATPN 2026 Registration
Please provide as much detail as you can when completing this form. Your responses directly inform the agenda, discussion topics, and the solution provider selection – ensuring the event reflects the real pressures and priorities across the sector.
Please note that all registrations are subject to approval by our delegate team.
