Summary

The SBM (School Business Manager) Conference covers the core operational, legal, and financial aspects of running educational institutions. Human Resources (HR) is consistently one of the key topics at these events, as SBMs are often responsible for overseeing workforce operations across their school or trust. This full-day conference will provide valuable opportunities for training, networking, and professional development, helping SBMs strengthen their skills and knowledge. This event will be held in person.
