CEO Roundtables

Exclusive discussions for leaders shaping the future of education

BESA’s CEO Roundtables are exclusive, invitation-only gatherings designed to bring together senior leaders from organisations of a similar scale for open, strategic conversations with their peers.

Representing more than 400 education suppliers, BESA is uniquely positioned to curate balanced groups that create meaningful opportunities for connection, collaboration, and shared learning. By carefully considering the mix of attendees, we aim to create an equitable environment where leaders can engage with peers they may not normally meet, exchange perspectives, and build valuable new relationships within the sector.

Held in an informal and confidential setting, these sessions provide an opportunity to discuss the issues shaping education and the wider supplier community, hear from influential voices across the sector, and explore emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities that matter to your business. Each roundtable is designed to encourage candid discussion, practical insight sharing, and high-value networking among education industry leaders.

These sessions are exclusively available to CEOs and senior leaders from Full BESA Member organisations.

Places are intentionally limited to maintain a high-quality discussion and ensure every participant has the opportunity to contribute. Register your interest and we’ll be in touch with further details.

“I have now attended a series of BESA CEO Roundtable sessions. I like how thoughtfully they have been carved to make sure as BESA members we get the insights from a wide range of speakers and on a range of topics. I will always recommend any CEO to attend these. The timings of the event is very suitable too.”

“A thoroughly useful event where I learned lots about the international schools market and heard firsthand from the CEO of FOBISIA (which included an open and honest Q&A). I got to connect with many other industry leaders in the educational publishing and EdTech space. I feel pretty confident that the BESA roundtable will positively impact our business in the weeks and months to come.”
