1-2 December 2020
THE VIRTUAL MAT EXPO
Thanks for making 2020 a great show! Check back soon for more information on our next event.
Supporting collaboration & innovation in multi academy trusts
2020 has bought challenges and disruption to the education sector on a scale which has never been seen before. Schools and trusts have had to innovate and adapt at pace – and there’s appetite to continue this momentum and set the stage for ongoing improvement.
Virtual MAT Expo is a chance for 1000+ senior leaders, educators and managers in MATs to connect and collaborate with the industry’s most transformational suppliers, in the biggest virtual event the sector has ever seen. It’s also CPD-accredited – fully trackable towards your time requirements.
So many of the tradeshows aimed at the education sector talk about digital disruption and transformation. Yet they stick to models of collaboration, learning and networking that are from a different time. We’re pushing the boundaries of what a tradeshow means and giving delegates and partners the chance to collaborate in ways that better reflect the times we’re in.
