Conferences and Events

ABLE conferences are where the network comes to life.

Three times a year, school business leaders from across ther East Midlands come together at Eastwood Hall for a full day of practical sessions, honest conversations, and time with people who understand the role.

Each conference includes a choice of workshops and keynote speakers, lunch, refreshments, and a full exhibition of trusted suppliers. Our half-day business network sessions focus on specific topics and are a more informal way to connect and learn throughout the year.

All events are free for ABLE members as part of your annual membership. Non-members can attend for £75 + VAT per event.
