Exclusive Webinar Hosted by the Schools & Academies Show and Sparrowhawk Communications
Friday 6th February 2026 | 2pm-3pm | Online
Schools and trusts are increasingly careful about the EdTech suppliers and partners they choose. It’s not always the most innovative EdTech product that gets adopted, but the one that is clearly understood, trusted and aligned with what schools and teachers believe they need.
This webinar will bring together leading education sector experts to explore how EdTechs can communicate more effectively with schools. We'll look at language, messaging, storytelling, data transparency and how to communicate successfully for the long sales cycles in education.
Whether you’re an early-stage EdTech developing your first messaging or an established provider refining your narrative, this session will offer practical insights on how to position your product, communicate your value and connect meaningfully with schools and trusts.
