More DetailsThe Strategy Forum is unique and unlike any other event. Here is why:
At the Education Strategy Forum you will experience an exceptionally time efficient engagement model which goes far beyond a traditional exhibition or conference where meetings are usually by chance. With our 'TouchPOINT 12' methodology peers and solution providers are fused together in a range of interactive activities which not only guarantee face time but also ensure you are placed as a key contributor to the group.
Our pre-scheduled business meetings enable solution providers and delegates to book meetings in advance of the event. Each delegate and provider receives a meeting scheduler at the event to ensure you maximise your time out of the office.
Think tank sessions enable intensive research, ideas on collaboration with peers and an opportunity to consult with providers and industry experts on your most burning issues. Develop business with others, organisational direction & strategy and embed, share and obtain expert views to move your organisation forwards.
Our signature P2P connect Speed Networking sessions give delegates the opportunity to meet with numerous solution providers and exchange brief introductions. This allows for the development of valuable business relationships that can be continued in the future.
