EPM Thought Leaders Series

Your space to connect, collaborate, and inspire

Starting on Tuesday 14 January, join our new Thought Leader Series of panel discussions - facilitated by EPM - designed to bring education leaders together in an open, collaborative environment to tackle the issues that matter most.

We know that education is ever-changing and that each week brings new challenges, responsibilities and a need to constantly consider different strategies and re-assess priorities. From practical strategies to navigating emerging challenges, these sessions are your opportunity to take the floor, share ideas, gain insights, and drive meaningful change across the sector with like-minded peers.

Why attend?

Leadership in education can often feel isolating, with few peers to turn to for advice or validation. But you're not alone. This online series connects you with forward-thinking leaders and sector experts in a safe space, offering:

• Real-world collaboration through a chaired discussion where your voice matters, and your ideas help shape the conversation.
  
  
• Fresh perspectives from peers across schools and trusts who talk through challenges, explore what's worked, and identify areas for improvement.
  
  
• Practical insights from sector experts and other leaders tackling the same challenges, sharing solutions and strategies to implement in your role.

Whether you're a seasoned leader with ideas to share or someone looking to gain actionable insights and fresh ideas, these sessions are designed with you in mind.

EPM will facilitate each session, chairing the discussion and driving conversations. We'll start with an introduction to the topic, then open the floor for you to air your challenges, share experiences, discuss ideas, ask questions and take part in polls.

These interactive discussions will provide a supportive space to engage with relevant issues and challenges, exchange solutions, or simply listen and gather new ideas that you can bring back to your Trust. 

Chaired by our CEO, Jen Elliott, each session will invite a panel of education leaders and sector specialists to discuss their experiences and answer questions.

Book your free place on any of our sessions today to be involved in the discussion and collaborate with like-minded individuals.

These are not presentations - they're dynamic, interactive conversations designed to give you and your peers the chance to be heard, collaborate, and grow.
