Who we are
In case you are not familiar with us here at Education Executive – or EdExec – we are education specialists, in particular, school business management specialists, talking to school business leaders (SBLs) and school business managers (SBMs) who are responsible for business and financial management in schools.
We produce a carefully curated portfolio of resources that supports and informs the SBL community across the UK’s schools and academies. Events are one of those resources.
​
Our events bring SBLs together in an environment that promotes discussion, networking and learning. The secret to our success is ensuring we offer a truly targeted and bespoke experience to our delegates.
​
They are specifically aimed at school business professionals and leaders, finance and HR managers as well as COOs, CFOs and CMOs - offering an interactive learning and networking experience quite different to other conferences on the circuit.
​
Here at EdExec we champion the role of business and financial leaders in schools and the event gives us the opportunity to bring together that community in-person to benefit from a day of CPD, learning and networking.
"This is my third event and even as a fairly experienced SBL I always get something out of the event, be it a new way of doing something, a new idea, a new contact or even a new friend."
Lisa Murphy, 2024 delegate​
​​
"Thank you for another fantastic day! It's the one 'must do' for me each year."
Karen Wallace-Poultney, 2024 delegate
