We actively encourage our state school members to attend the two-day conference as the full programme is designed to cater for all IDPE member schools. However, for those not able to attend for two days, there will a range of sessions and networking events specifically for state schools on Tuesday 13 May 2025. This will culminate in a two-hour State School Symposium in the afternoon, supporting state schools to set up and embed a development function in their school. Our more experienced state school members will still be able to access the general programme throughout Tuesday.

Packages for the full conference, excluding accommodation and Monday day-only packages will be available to book from January 2025.

The following prices include an early bird discount which is available until 17:00 on Friday, 7 March 2025.

Please note you will receive an email confirmation of your booking once you have selected your payment option, please remember to check your junk folder.
