We’re excited to be exhibiting at CST's Annual Conference 2026 taking place on 15–16 October at the ICC Birmingham.

This year's theme, Connecting, recognises that relationships, from classrooms to systems, are a vital driver of change across the education sector.

As trusts respond to the ambitions of the White Paper, SEND reforms and the MAT Inspection Framework, one thing is clear:
At CEOE, we're passionate about strengthening the leadership, systems, culture and organisational capability that enable trusts to turn strategy into impact.

We believe:
🎯 Policy sets the direction. Operational excellence delivers the change.

We're looking forward to connecting with more than 1,000 sector and civic leaders, policymakers, researchers and partners to discuss how operational excellence can support sustainable improvement and long-term success.

📍 Join us at our stand to discuss what excellence in trust operations looks like and how strong leadership, systems and culture can enable lasting change.
