BE2011 – IEBE’s national convention

On 9th June, over 200 people gathered at the Business Design Centre, Islington for BE2011, IEBE’s national convention.

In the past 12 months, a Schools White Paper has been published, Government has responded to the Wolf Review and public spending cuts have started to take hold.

BE2011 was an opportunity for everyone with an interest in work-related learning and enterprise education to get a feel for the national picture and exchange views about the way forward.  Delegates came from schools, colleges, universities, businesses, central and local government, agencies, awarding bodies, trade associations and specialist providers. We were also delighted to welcome delegates from Australia and Sweden.

Asked what they wanted from the event, most delegates said “engage in great debate” and “get new ideas”. They were rewarded with a programme and an atmosphere that encouraged both debate about policy and a focus on pride, professionalism and good practice.
