The Summit has welcomed in excess of 1000 delegates from over 550 organisations, with speakers including Nick Boles and Matthew Hancock. The event’s agenda, developed in collaboration with bodies such as AELP, the FSB and CIPD, helps shape debate across the education and training sector.

• Workplace L&D: leadership and self-directed learning
