For more than a decade, Inspiring Leadership in Education (ILEC) has brought together the people leading change across schools, colleges and trusts.
Whether you’re an aspiring leader looking to take the next step, new to a leadership role, an experienced middle leader, a headteacher, principal, CEO or trust executive, you’ll find ideas, inspiration and practical strategies to support your development.
Just as importantly, the conference will bring together leaders from every phase of education. From early years settings and primary schools to secondary schools, sixth form colleges and further education, ILEC creates a rare opportunity to step outside your own context and learn from colleagues facing different challenges and opportunities.
That breadth is no accident.
Brought to you by NAHT, Blackberry Events and EducationScape, publishers of Schools Week and FE Week, Inspiring Leadership in Education has been built around a simple belief: the best conversations happen when the whole sector comes together. Rather than focusing on one phase, one role or one part of education, the programme will reflect the realities, priorities and ambitions of leaders across the entire system.
And with the conference moving to London in 2027, that conversation is set to become even bigger.
London’s global connectivity, accessibility and international profile will help bring new voices into the room, creating opportunities to learn from education leaders not only across the UK, but from around the world. Alongside world-class keynote speakers and sector-leading workshops, delegates can expect fresh perspectives, broader discussions and valuable new connections.
Because while leadership challenges may differ from one setting to another, the need to come together for inspiration and shared learning is something every education leader has in common.
Whatever your role. Whatever your phase. Whatever stage of your leadership journey you’re on. There is a place for you at ILEC 2027.
