CISC Annual Conference
6-7 February 2025
Oxford Belfry, Milton Common, Thame OX9 2JW
The CISC Annual Conference generally attracts in the region of 80-100 delegates, with an exhibition for around 20 businesses. This is one of the most popular educational conferences in the calendar: big enough to be worthwhile in terms of business leads with time enough to allow for meaningful conversations and relationships to be initiated. In addition, CISC organises a programme of short conferences and webinars for key groups of staff in CISC schools, such as heads, governors, deputies, bursars and Heads of RS.
CISC is known for building meaningful and ongoing relationships with sponsors through reciprocally beneficial collaborations. As such, we have three sponsor relationships available across a broad range of cost options. There are also additional opportunities to sponsor key Conference events such as pre-dinner drinks or the Conference dinner, creating additional exposure for your organisation.

Their valuable contribution enables CISC to continue to grow and reach out to Catholic Independent Schools across the globe, inspiring and supporting a community of schools with shared faith, beliefs and values. The relationship we have with our sponsors is very much a tailored approach, working with individual companies to create a bespoke package that meets everyone’s shared vision.
