The programme for the day will be based around three key themes:

Understanding the context for future leadership

The conference will address how the national policy landscape will influence what is required from the next generation of leaders in the sector and how these future challenges could be met. 

Next generation leadership

Anthony Bravo, Principal of Basingstoke College of Technology will outline his personal journey to executive leadership, examining the ways in which those currently in first line and middle management positions can develop in order to progress.

Skills development

Delegates will take part in a number of leadership in practice sessions designed to help develop the new thinking and skills required to be a successful leader in the sector. 
Areas to be explored in these sessions will include the role of leadership in:

• meeting the needs of learners;
• collaboration and partnership;
• entrepreneurship; and
• developing people.

Leaders for the sessions so far include: Signe Sutherland, Deputy Principal at North Hertfordshire College; Judith Doyle, Deputy Principal at Gateshead College; Permjeet Panesar, Director of the Centre for Equality and Diversity at Suffolk College; Meredith Banbury, Assistant Principal Learner and Community Development at Lewisham College and Lorraine Bunyard, Managing Director of Davidson Training UK Ltd.
