​​
free of charge tickets?
We have had to revise the pricing structure for our events from 2025 onwards, moving back in line with our pre-covid pricing.
This does means that there will be very few, if any, free of charge tickets available. As we know the events remain invaluable to so many of you, we hope you can support the long term success of the events by paying a small contribution to attend the day.
If you are unable to pay anything towards a ticket, please do bear in mind there is no guarantee and FREE TICKETS WILL BE VERY UNLIKELY FOR 2025. If you would like to get in touch regarding the waitlist, please complete our form HERE.
​
How do i book onto seminars?
A few weeks before the event we will email you a link and instructions on how to book your seminars. It is a good idea to take a look at the website in the time leading up to this, to get a feel for the seminars on offer and what you might be interested in attending, as place allocations are made on a first come, first served basis. To check the seminars that will be on offer at the event you are attending, please go to the venues page, click on the venue and go to the seminars page from here.
​
Will I be emailed a confirmation of my choices? 
No, you won’t be emailed a confirmation of your choices. However, you will be given your personalised itinerary on the day as part of your delegate pack.  
What should I do if I move schools in between booking my ticket and the event?
If you have booked your ticket, you can make the change directly with Eventbrite by logging into your account. Please also let us know as soon as possible by emailing us at hello@edexeclive.co.uk.
Do I need to print my ticket?
It is not necessary to print a copy of your ticket. We can scan your ticket’s QR code on your mobile device. Alternatively, we can manually sign you in if you give your name and school when registering.
Will I receive copies of the presentations?
Copies of the presentations will be made available to all attendees shortly after the event.
​
How flexible is the day?
Very flexible! You can attend as many, or as few seminars as you like. Throughout the day you can spend your time either learning, networking or speaking to exhibitors. We optimise our timetable to maximise your time ─ so, you can attend optional sessions or opt to network (or work!) ─ as well as enjoy lunch, coffee and networking breaks.
Can I cancel my booking for free? 
You can cancel your ticket for free up to 15 days before the event date. If less than 15 days notice is given, you will be charged a cancellation fee – please see our T&C’s for more information. 
After this timeframe, unfortunately, the charge is out of our hands. At this stage, your place at the venue is paid for (even if you had a subsidised ticket) and there’s nothing we can do to ask the venue to waive the cost.  
If you need to cancel, please do so by emailing us here (hello@edexeclive.co.uk). 
​
Can I transfer my ticket to someone else to avoid cancellation fees?
Yes, you can transfer your ticket to another SBM up to 7 days before the event. After that, we're unable to make changes to itineraries or name badges.
​
If I am sick on the day, will I be charged? 
If you cancel due to sickness or medical reasons, we require a medical note, which we can send to the venue to ask them to waive the cost. I’m afraid that if you have an appointment that you knew of in advance or you don’t have a note from your doctor, the venue will not be able to waive the fee and you will still be charged. 
​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​What if Ofsted comes to my school on the day of the event? 
If you can send us a redacted letter or form confirming the date of the inspection, we can send it on to the venue to waive your fee. Good luck with your Ofsted inspection! 
​
How do I evacuate the venue in case of an emergency?
If you are a vulnerable adult or will have difficulty responding to a fire alarm or escaping from the building unaided in the event of an emergency, please let us know prior to the event.
Can I pay by invoice?
Yes! Simply select your ticket, you’ll then be asked to register your information. At the bottom right-hand corner of this page (under the PayPal button) click on ‘payment options show’ then click ‘send invoice’.  ​

Seminars run for 50 minutes on average with time for Q&A at the end. Seminars take place in breakout areas near the main event space, which is where you can find the exhibition and have the opportunity to network with peers.

​
How can I tell you about my dietary requirements?  
You will be asked for your dietary requirements in the seminar booking survey. Please wait for the link to book your seminars and tell us there if you have any specific needs.
