The Festival of Education is an inspiring day of professional learning, collaboration, and connection for educators across the country.

Following the success of previous editions in the USA, the next editions promises to be big, bold and impactful.

With over 50 engaging sessions, including thought-provoking keynotes, interactive workshops, and conversations led by leading voices in education, the Festival offers something for everyone—whether you’re a classroom teacher, school leader, or education innovator.

  • Artificial Intelligence in education
  • Cognitive science and learning
  • Instructional coaching
  • Leadership and wellbeing

Founded by Wellington College in the UK in 2010 and brought to the U.S. by EducationScape and Wellington College Education, the Festival has quickly become a must-attend event on the education calendar. It’s a day designed to reignite your passion, spark new ideas, and connect you with a vibrant community of educators.
