LocatED has been announced for the first time as an official partner for the two Schools and Academies Shows in 2024 in London and Birmingham.

LocatED will be the Official Partner for Schools Estates Summit at the Schools and Academies Show being held at the ExCel Centre in London on 1 May 2024. LocatED will also be the Official Partner for the Estates Zone at the Schools and Academies Show in Birmingham on 20 November 2024.

As part of the agreement LocatED will be exhibiting at both shows as well as providing expert speakers on a range of issues relating to the education estate.  LocatED will also be taking part in the Schools and Academies Show podcast series throughout the year.

LocatED Chief Executive, Lara Newman said:
“It is very important that we continuously engage with leaders from schools, multi-academy trusts and local authorities. From the challenges of ensuring an efficient use of land to delivering taxpayer value-for-money, all areas of the education estate need expert and innovative property advice. Becoming an official partner at the Schools and Academies Show means that we are able to speak directly to this very important audience and let them know about the ways in which LocatED can provide free-of-charge advice about their estate.”

The Schools and Academies Show aims to provide the education community with inspiring content, key updates and tangible solutions, to ensure they feel empowered to make positive change, navigate their most pressing challenges and improve outcomes for pupils. Collectively, both shows attract 6,000 attendees, and for 2024 we are excited to introduce brand new co-located events to each event, elevating the experience for visitors and providing new opportunities to connect, learn and grow.
