Party Conference

The Education Policy Institute has been running a programme of events at the political party conferences for nearly a decade. 

Every year we partner with high profile stakeholders to run a variety of roundtables, panel events and receptions, in order to facilitate high-level discussion and debate and deliver policy impact. Over the last nine years, our speakers and panellists have included dozens of Ministers and shadow Ministers, prominent sector representatives, school leaders, young people and leading research and policy experts. In 2025, we hosted over 30 events across the Autumn and Spring conferences. 

Why partner with EPI?

Over nine years’ experience of delivering engaging and impactful events at party conference: 

• Our conference events typically draw in hundreds of attendees from the education sector, academia, political parties, and third sector and business groups – with many offering standing room only, and good coverage in the media. 
• Our strong relationships in the sector mean that we’re consistently able to secure high profile speakers, with recent speakers including the Education Secretary, the Minister of State for School Standards, the Opportunity Mission Champion, and the Chair of the House of Commons Education Select Committee.
