AEGIS CONFERENCE 2023

Have you booked your place?

The AEGIS team is delighted to be holding our first in-person conference since before the global pandemic. We have planned a fabulous day of networking, brilliant speakers and upto-the-minute briefings (not to mention great food and coffee), to bring together guardians, schools, agents and other key education professionals in an impressive central London location.

We hope you will join us, and look forward to seeing you there! Places are limited, so please do book now.

Keynote Speaker

We have been lucky enough to persuade Jeffrey Boakye to be the Keynote Speaker at the AEGIS Conference.

Jeffrey is a renowned broadcaster, speaker, educator and author. His most recent book, ‘I heard what you said’, draws upon 15 years as a secondary school teacher in the state sector to tackle racism and inequality in schools, and is described by the Guardian as ‘essential reading for teachers, those who run educational institutions, parents…’.

Jeffrey has worked with educational psychologists, schools and academy trusts to provide training on anti-racism, identity and Black British history in education. Jeffrey also co-hosts on Radio 4, and is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the Manchester Institute of Education.
