Hi Everyone,
It was terrific to meet so many old friends - and make new ones! - at the 5th Annual Independent Schools Portal Marketing Conference on Friday. It was the first time that we've had over 100 schools in attendance at one of our events and I'd like to thank Queen Ethelburga's for hosting us so magnificently in North Yorkshire, to the speakers who gave so freely of their time and expertise and to Alicia for organising and delivering such a fabulous event.
We're also planning an additional live event on AI in Education in the summer term - it's currently still in the development phase - but will be held in the Canva offices in London. I'm hoping to be able to share the date and programme with you very shortly.
The Easter break seems to be somewhat staggered this year, so whether you have already broken up, or still have a week or two to go, I hope that you have a great week and that you get to enjoy some of the sunny weather that has been forecast!
With all good wishes,
David
