EdExec LIVE EAST MIDLANDS is a partnership event where EdExec LIVE is working with L.E.A.D Academy and to deliver it's East Midlands Finance Directors’ Network Event, to offer trust professionals, large and small, a scaled and elite event experience.

 

EdExec LIVE Events are offering you something enhanced and different from previous school business leadership events you may have attended – as we are on a mission to bring about an elevated event experience for the SBL community, and have been for more than 15 years now!

 

With more seminar choice and greater selection of speakers, as well as workshops, panel sessions, networking and thought leadership opportunities - and a hand-picked supplier exhibition running along side it - the day is packed with value for you and your school.
