Traditional education at industry shows often means passive listening, but real learning happens through interaction, creativity, and hands-on experience. That’s why we’re redefining our 2025 education programme to be more immersive, thought-provoking, and accessible to all and ensuring inclusivity, best practice and diversity through expert-led content that embraces and supports development no matter where you are in your career.
This year's programme features three dynamic stages:
Stage One & Stage Two – Home to our core general sessions, professional keynotes, debates, seminars and interactive workshops.
The Blank Canvas – Our space for experimentation, where you can test new technology, collaborate on new formats and ideas in a fun, safe, engaging environment.
Plus, don’t miss exclusive content from our partners on their stands.
Please note: The Hosted Buyer Masterclasses (all sessions on Tuesday 24 June 2025) are invite-only sessions exclusively for hosted buyers.
New for this year: Free online registration for visitor buyers will close on 24 June. All onsite registrations will be charged at the ticket price of £999, so if you plan meetings and events as part of your role, register now to ensure you can attend the sessions of your choice for free.
