BRILLIANT Festival

BRILLIANT is a free, one day festival built to reignite your passion for teaching. It brings together more than 2,000 teachers, leaders and education professionals for the largest education event in the North West and one of the most energising days of CPD in the UK.

This is where teachers rediscover why they do the job. You will explore new technologies that can fundamentally improve teaching and learning, not as hype, but as practical tools you can use immediately. You will see what works, understand why it works, and leave with ideas ready to apply in your own classroom.

You will also hear directly from industry professionals about how the world of work is changing and what future careers may look like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to creative industries and clean energy, BRILLIANT connects classroom practice with real world opportunity.

Global technology leaders and respected thinkers share evidence led insights and practical strategies you can take straight back to your school or college. From policy to classroom delivery, BRILLIANT brings education and industry together in one space so you leave inspired, better equipped and ready to prepare your students for what comes next.
