The event brings together entrepreneurs in education and learning tech with educators, to explore what the classroom of the future will look like - on and offline - and collectively unpick some key challenges and opportunities in this growth space. The event will focus upon three exciting strands: Teacher of the Future Exploring the types of content teachers will be engaging with in the very near future in schools, and reflecting on the software and hardware that will flow from home, into school. Neil Gallagher, Pora Ora CEO and Games-based Learning Entrepreneur Jodie Collins, Pearson Teacher of the Year and Games-based Learning Expert Textbook of the Future From Blurb to Apple’s iBooks Textbooks, what does the future hold for the physical textbook book and the companies reinventing how students engage with print? Bev Humphrey, @LibWithAttitude, Literacy and Technology Consultant Adrian Smith, Pearson School Improvement Programme Exam of the Future How will learning be measured and assessed in the future, and how will online metrics be recorded and reported?

Middle: The event then breaks into three groups, each focusing on one of the main strands. (On entrance, attendees will be asked to choose a strand they wish to join). End: Reconvening, the panel and audience will be asked to explore the thoughts and issues raised in the group discussions. Networking: The event wraps up in a networking session.
