Education Business LIVE brings together education professionals to shape the future of school leadership, operations and management.
At Education Business LIVE you will access the tools, technologies, and strategies enabling schools and academies to thrive, and discover practical solutions from an inspirational line-up of educationalists and policymakers. The London-based show is now hosted at Old Billingsgate - in the heart of the City on the North bank of the River Thames.
The Education Business Awards has recognised achievements in thousands of state and independent schools since 2009 and was successfully incorprated into Education Business LIVE in 2025.
Each year, the Awards recognises excellence in over twenty categories, including those for Outstanding Progress and Leadership, SEN Best Practice and Provision, ICT Innovation, Procurement, Security, Environmental Practice, Building, Catering and more.
Education Business magazine provides a unique bridge between schools and those that supply them. The magazine, and its accompanying website at educationbusinessuk.net, helps decision-makers find out about the latest goods, services and innovative technologies available while providing best-practice advice from leading educational institutions, associations, head teachers and industry experts.
What’s more, the latest news and analysis helps schools stay up-to-date on legislation changes and budget allocations. To help schools operate more efficiently, regular topics include education technology, finance, facilities management, security, health & safety, catering and SEND provision.
