Key Information Event: Confederation of School Trusts Conference 2026 Location: ICC, Birmingham Date: 15th Oct 2026 Stand no: G7 CST is a membership organisation of organisations. This means that the organisation – the trust – is the member. We are proud to support and represent 79% of the academy sector in England. Their members are responsible for the education of more than 4 million young people and children. CST is shaping the education policy agenda for school trusts. Bringing together trusts in England from every region and of every size, CST has a strong, strategic presence with access to government and policy makers to drive real change for education on the big issues that matter most. In addition to their annual conference, we organise a number of community conferences focussing on individual areas of school trust operations. We also run a range of training courses for school trust leaders and those involved in trust governance and regularly publish guidance and thought leadership on the big issues facing the sector.
