ABLE Spring Conference

We invite School Business Professionals to kickstart your 2023 professional development journey with us on the 26th of January at Eastwood Hall.

In partnership with ISBL, we’re building a programme that’s equal parts inspiration, knowledge sharing, networking and hands-on troubleshooting. The best part is ABLE and ISBL Members can attend for free!

Why should you attend?

  • Be Inspired and empowered with workshops, discussions and keynotes designed to fuel the fire of self-confidence. Leave the conference ready to take on the challenges of the year ahead.
  • Supercharge your local and national networks. We’ve designed plenty of networking experiences from some snack’s-based chatter to our peer-brokering Unconference.
  • Take away handy tools offered by our workshop leaders to help you and your team fine-tune your practices.
  • Get up to speed with the products and services that are changing practice and saving schools and trusts time and money.
  • Horizon scan with those in the know. Exploit the wealth of knowledge of speakers, specialists, and peers.
  • Benchmark your practice with colleagues and gain that all-important context to your decisions
