National PTA Event “
Hosting our
Conference at an event that brings together thousands of people to discuss education makes perfect sense for us. Schools and teachers place high value on their PTA. Not only do our incredibly hard working members raise millions of pounds for schools each year, they also provide events which help build a sense of community within schools and actively help parents become more involved in their children’s learning. We understand the strong focus PTAs place on running fundraising activities; as a result, the conference is designed to give our members the opportunity to meet our team, several fundraising experts and a whole host of suppliers with great money-making ideas and suggestions on how to spend their hard-earned PTA funds.” We are expecting demand to be high as we have a limited number of places available so visit www.education-show.com/ ptaconference and reserve your places today. More information will be sent to registered delegates in due course.
