Leaders and Advisors Conference 2027

For Heads, Careers Leaders and Advisors: Growing Great Education: Lifelong Learning

Canterbury Christ Church University invites heads, careers leaders, and advisers to our School & College Leaders and Advisers Conference on Tuesday 23 February at our Medway campus.

This year’s conference focuses on supporting lifelong learning. We will bring together colleagues from education, industry, and the wider community to explore how learners of all ages can continue to develop, adapt, and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Through collaboration between schools, colleges, universities, employers, and community partners, we'll consider how lifelong learning can support individual growth, workforce development and stronger communities. 

The event will provide:

• practical insight into supporting student wellbeing, aspiration, and progression
• opportunities to share practice with peers across the sector
• direct engagement with CCCU’s outreach and recruitment specialists

If you are shaping the strategic direction of careers education, student support, or progression pathways, this conference offers valuable insight, collaboration, and impact.

Alongside networking opportunities, a marketplace and chance to tour our Health facilities the conference features keynote speakers and a range of interactive workshops and round table discussions.

"This was an amazing conference with a great mix of speakers, sessions and marketplace. The opportunity to network was so valuable and it really gave me useful thinking time away from school. Thank You"
