As we approach the festive period, we're reflecting on a very busy and successful Autumn for STEP CONNECT2! We're all very excited for 2025: building on the success of our regular events and introducing a few new ones... Watch this space! In the meantime, here's a snapshot of what we achieved this Autumn. The Autumn is always our busiest period, with our three biggest events taking place: - Education Estates® Exhibition | Conference | Awards - Education Buildings Ireland Conference & Exhibition - Learning Places Scotland Conference | Exhibition | Awards In total, we welcomed: 6103 attendees over the course of the events, heard from 321 expert speakers, featured 255 exhibitors and 57 sponsors, and hosted 1156 awards guests. All in all, a record-breaking Autumn! And as icing on the cake, Education Estates® won 'Best 365 Event' at the Indy Awards - we are incredibly proud of our role in bringing together the education community regularly throughout the year to nurture partnerships, spark inspiration and ultimately develop exceptional learning environments that will stand the test of time! A huge thank you to all our partners, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and attendees for their support 😊 For more information about STEP CONNECT2, our events and our team, please see www.stepconnect2.com.
