IPSEF Global 2026 International and Private Schools Education Forum
As media partners, we look forward to seeing you at IPSEF Global in London on 24 June.
Join us at the International and Private Schools Education Forum on 24 June in London. The IPSEF Team are excited to be returning to the prestigious Woburn House in London for the 2026 edition of IPSEF Global.
IPSEF Global 2026 brings together an exceptional line-up of senior decision-makers, investors, operators and solution providers, offering unrivalled access to the people, insights and opportunities shaping global education. This is where deals begin, partnerships are formed and strategies are sharpened.
In one intensive, high-value day, the conference will reveal what the international school’s market will look like in 2026 and beyond, with clear, practical guidance on how to launch, scale or invest in schools overseas.
Learn directly from those who have already done it. Network with senior executives across education, finance, government, law, architecture and management consultancy, and gain market-leading intelligence through deep-dive sessions on high-growth regions including the Middle East (with a spotlight on Saudi Arabia), Asia, India and the USA, alongside expert analysis of mergers and acquisitions.
If you are serious about expanding globally, IPSEF Global 2026 is where your next move starts.
