Notice Title

Event Management Supplier for DfE Business Engagement Annual Conference 2023

Notice Description

Aims of the Conference: The Secretary of State for Education (DfE) has expressed support and enthusiasm for the concept of a conference as a way of deepening engagement with a greater number of employers at senior level.

Invitees will be CEOs, Chairs or equivalent from 150 major employers, plus one of their respective heads of learning/talent or similar, bringing the total number of delegates to 250 to 300. At the heart of such an event is the continuous building of relationships and trust between business and government. It will provide delegates an opportunity to learn from and benchmark with fellow business leaders who already engage with the Department. It would give us the opportunity to share the latest information, initiatives and advice on skills and education direct to senior business leaders.
