SWGfL Trust ICT Regional Conferences have attracted audiences of 600+ every year. Ordinarily hosting 2 conferences across the region, Bristol and Torquay, it is felt this year that we will host only the Bristol Conference and aim to maximise attendance at one event. This year we aim to encourage not only educators and ICT professionals from the South West but to also delegates from neighbouring regions and those who are not affiliated to a RBC, such as Independent Schools and Colleges, Universities and HE establishments, Newly-formed Academies and Newly Qualified Teachers.

At a time when local authority cuts have reduced the infrastructure support for schools across the region, support from national external bodies such as Becta have gone and schools are becoming increasingly independent in their own procurement, this conference offers a unique opportunity for suppliers to maintain and develop relationships with the schools and more specifically, the decision-makers in those schools.
 

With a national reduction in such conferences and the onus now being transferred onto schools
to source their ICT provisions directly, we feel that this is an opportunity not to be missed for
those organisations that trade in ICT in Education.
