We're heading to Nottingham next week for MATPN Midlands 2026 for two days built around the challenges that actually keep MAT leaders up at night.
From cyber risk and digital consistency across school estates, to AI in the classroom and strategic operations under funding pressure. The agenda is packed with the conversations that matter right now.
The Lightspeed Systems team will be on the ground across both days at the East Midlands Conference Centre. Whether you want to talk filtering, monitoring, safeguarding, or how to get more visibility across your trust's network, we'd love to connect.
📅 25–26 June | East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham
