National Governance Conference for schools and trusts
Bigger and better than ever before
Join NGA for the highlight of our annual events calendar. This is your opportunity to join us in-person, as this event brings together trustees, governors and governance professionals from across England for a jam-packed day of sharing the latest governance ideas and best practice.
Delegates will choose a bespoke trust or school governance programme, spending the day with colleagues governing or working in similar circumstances to their own. Attendees will hear from keynote speakers who are setting the education policy agenda, and take part in a series of interactive workshops, focusing on specific governance hot topics.
Each delegate will have an opportunity to hear from 3 keynote speakers, join 2 workshops bespoke to your school or trust setting, and to learn the insights from NGA's leadership.
We are delighted to share the below programme with you (please note that timings of keynotes, workshops, and refreshments breaks are subject to change at this stage, and the final programme will be confirmed approximately 1 week before the event):
