What is the UK School Estates Expo?

The UK School Estates Expo is a brand-new national event, but not just another exhibition. It’s the first event designed as a guided journey through the lifecycle of a school estate.

Across one day in Leeds (April 2026), you’ll step into an immersive trail that takes you from compliance and safety, through building and energy, to innovation and legacy. Along the way, you’ll meet the people, solutions, and ideas shaping the future of education spaces.

Who You’ll Meet:

School leaders, governors and trustees planning better estates.

Estates and operations professionals sharing best practice.

Local authorities and policy-makers shaping strategy.

Industry specialists woven into each stage of the journey.

What to Expect:

✅ The Estates Trail – A curated exhibition that flows zone by zone, so you discover solutions in the order they matter.

✅ Keynote Sessions – Hear from decision-makers, innovators, and thought leaders.

✅ Panels & Breakouts – Practical conversations on funding, compliance, sustainability, and strategy.

✅ Networking Café & Lounge – Connect with peers, MATs, and local authorities in dedicated spaces.

✅ Policy Engagement – A space where practice meets policy, with voices from government in the mix.

Why It’s Different:

Instead of wandering rows of stands, you’ll walk a story, one that makes sense, saves time, and leaves you with clarity, connections, and CPD you can take back to your organisation.
