Interested in sponsorship opportunities at the annual leadership conference?

Conference sponsors

The main conference sponsors of Seizing Success 2012 are ASDAN and AQA.

Confirmed supporting sponsors include Best Practice Network, Target Tracker, Serco, EdisonLearning and Heads, Teachers and Industry (HTI).

We are still interested in hearing from you if you would like to be involved in sponsoring the conference.

Why sponsor?

The Seizing Success: Annual Leadership Conference has built a reputation as one of the most inspirational and influential events in the education calendar. Many delegates return year on year, bringing with them other members of their senior leadership teams.

In 2011, the conference sold out in the first few months, despite an increase, from the previous year, in the number of delegate places available. As a sponsor at this event, you’ll have access to more than 1,500 leaders of schools, academies and early years settings – all important decision-makers, keen to find practical ideas and solutions for implementing change and driving improvement in their organisations.

Sponsorship at Seizing Success gives you a unique opportunity to raise your company profile and access this influential audience of leaders.
