A truly global gathering, united by purpose.​

The Ministerial Symposium will take place on 19 January 2027 at InterContinental London – The O2, followed by a dedicated half-day programme at Bett UK at ExCeL London on 20 January.

The 2027 edition will bring together 400 Ministers, senior policymakers, world-leading academics, innovators, NGOs and institutional partners for strategic, action-oriented dialogue on the future of education.

Building on the momentum of its inaugural edition, the Symposium will shift the conversation from vision to implementation at scale, moving beyond bold ideas and future directions to focus on turning policy ambition into action and delivering measurable progress across education systems worldwide.
