Traditional education at industry shows often means passive listening, but real learning happens through interaction, creativity, and hands-on experience. That’s why the 2025 education programme was designed to be more immersive, thought-provoking, and accessible to all, ensuring inclusivity, best practice and diversity through expert-led content that embraced and supported development.
This year's programme featured three dynamic stages:
Stage One & Stage Two – Home to our core general sessions, professional keynotes, debates, seminars and interactive workshops.
The Blank Canvas – Our space for experimentation, where visitors tested new technology, and collaborated on new formats and ideas in a fun, safe, engaging environment.
Plus, exclusive content from our partners on their stands.
Please note: The Hosted Buyer Masterclasses (all sessions on Tuesday 24 June 2025) were invite-only sessions exclusively for hosted buyers.
