AASHOW, known as the Schools & Academies Show, returns to Birmingham with an exciting new co-located show! This year the show will provide a space for school and academy leaders to connect, inspire new ideas, and explore key challenges and emerging trends that will shape the future of education.


The Schools & Academies Show makes its highly anticipated return to NEC Birmingham on the 20 November, presenting not just one, but two co-located events. This bi-annual event provides a pivotal platform where the education community can collaboratively prepare for the dynamic changes ahead.

These insights are designed to empower educators to drive positive change and enhance outcomes for all students.

Each speaker, an expert in their field within the education sector, will present through a CPD accredited session, live debate, discussion, or specialised workshop. The goal is to leave attendees feeling empowered, inspired, and equipped with key techniques, guidance, and resources to drive improvements across their organisations.


The Schools & Academies Show also offers attendees numerous opportunities to meet new people, forge connections, build relationships, and discover new organisations through dedicated networking spaces. Explore the ConnectEd Lounge or the dedicated Networking Lounge for The Educator’s Networking Hour for refreshments at the end of the show, where you can connect, share experiences and develop key partnerships with peers. The exhibition floor will host over 200 innovative education suppliers, showcasing the latest cutting-edge products and services designed to support school improvements. With dedicated zones for specific exhibitors, including Estates, Workforce and Business, this is a place for attendees to source solutions for their school, academy or MAT and test the latest innovative products.
