What our members say:
SET Member
"I enjoyed the variety of sessions that were on offer. In each slot, there were several sessions that were relevant and appropriate for me and my subject. Unlike other conferences, I didn't feel that I was overlooked at points throughout the day. Often, as a teacher of maths, I find that sessions are only targeted at vocations, however, it was far from the case this time."
SET Member
"I loved [the host] Sarah, she was excellent at engaging the audience, lighthearted and funny, it makes such a nice change from the usual speakers at conferences. The band were excellent and that was really heartwarming to see and a lovely addition that I've not seen at a conference before. The most useful session for me was the SEND session because I have an entire list of things my organisation could be doing better. That's really one of the main reasons I come to these conferences."
Attendee
"The inspirational talk by Bonnie [Bonita Norris] at the start motivated me both professionally and personally and the performance by Orpheus brought tears to my eyes. The information and knowledge I gained provided lots to reflect on and discuss when I return to my organisation."
Our previous conference - SET22
Our 2023 conference, SET22, aimed at supporting teachers, trainers and leaders in the Further Education and Training sector, took place on Tuesday 17 January 2023.
The conference returned this year as a live event and featured a range of keynote speakers, breakout-sessions and live Q&A. There was plenty of time to mingle and meet with colleagues from across the sector and visit our ETF staff in the brand-new Knowledge Zone.
