The IDPE 2021 Annual Conference is a virtual conference experience for schools’ development professionals. Developed by members for members, the conference provides a five-day programme combining expert led training, sharing of best practice and opportunities to network with peers for your whole school.

Conference theme: embracing opportunity
‘In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.’ (Albert Einstein)
Following on from the 2020 conference theme of leading change, this year’s conference will focus on ‘embracing opportunity’, how in spite of the unprecedented challenges facing schools, the pandemic has given us the chance to be both courageous and creative. At this time of global uncertainty and increased financial pressure on schools, there is the need to boldly go where no development team has gone before, to think differently, and to explore new ways to fundraise and engage with your school community.
'Brilliant, relevant programme with excellent speakers kindly sharing their knowledge and ideas with everyone.'
