About this Event
After a successful first year of operating, we are pleased to bring you our next event within the Midlands, this time in Wolverhampton taking place in March 2025.
The Step Up Network, originally launched in June 2023, is a grassroots network turned community interest company for new and aspiring leaders in education. We are here to empower educators to make the step up they wish to make. Those within the Step Up community have asked for a blend of online content with face-to-face events.
This event format is a format based on our London event last year. Our leadership day format is an annual event where we have a larger number of attendees and a larger venue (usually a school or conference centre) with multiple activities taking place at the same time. This event will blend professional and leadership development with sociable networking.
