Help shape next year’s event at the Business Design Centre, central London, on 12 and 13 February

The Music & Drama Education Expo, Europe’s largest conference and exhibition for performing arts educators, has opened its call for papers and advisory board applications for 2026.
The event is a highlight of music and drama education calendars, offering highly valued CPD and networking opportunities for educators working in a range of settings.
Each year the two-day programme attracts around 2,000 visitors from across the UK and over 40 countries. This year’s event saw over 80 CPD sessions (all CPD-accredited), showcasing the depth and variety of provision in music and drama education.
The 2026 show will once again return to London’s Business Design Centre, taking place on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 February.
As plans take shape, organisers are seeking a range of practitioners to present sessions and join the show’s voluntary advisory board. Educators of all backgrounds, ages and identities are strongly encouraged to apply.
