The National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) have been the Conference Partner of the Inspiring Leadership Conference for ten years. Being held on 12 and 13 June 2024 at the ICC in Birmingham, the conference continues to be the only event of its type that is organised specifically for UK school education leaders.

Attended by more than 10,000 senior leaders since it was first held in 2014, the conference has become a ‘must attend’ event in the UK’s educational calendar and attracts high profile speakers from the fields of education, business, sport, politics and the arts. Past speakers include Lords’ Sebastian Coe and William Hague, Dame Katherine Grainger, Lyse Doucet and Fatima Bhutto.

Each keynote speaker is selected not just for the inspiring lessons of leadership that they bring to the conference but also for the new ideas, different ways of thinking and moments of refection that they share with the audience.

Paul Whiteman, NAHT General Secretary comments: “The NAHT was one of the founding organisations behind Inspiring Leadership and is delighted to continue its support of the event beyond it's tenth anniversary. Today’s educational leaders face as many challenges as ever and this conference continues to give them an essential opportunity to recharge, learn and connect with others in the educational sector. Comprising two days of excellent CPD undertaken in the company of your peers, the tenth Inspiring Leadership Conference will again enable leaders to step back from the day-to-day, to reflect on their own practice and to develop their leadership capabilities.”

Delegates will also get the opportunity to network with fellow attendees, to attend the official gala dinner and to talk with a range of organisations which support the education sector in a dedicated exhibitor area.
