IPSEF Global 2026
The IPSEF Global 2026 event took place on Wednesday 24th June at Woburn House in London.
Who we are and what we do
IPSEF Global is a unique international conference looking at the growing but complex market for new fee-paying schools outside the UK. With the UK the leading source of ‘home schools’ in this sector we tap into the experience and expertise that exists here, and how this best practice will safely guide and aid a school’s expansion overseas.
The conference content is delivered by school leaders and directors of international operations, as well as the professional partners required to ensure a smooth and financially viable project whether in established markets like the UAE, dynamic markets such as China, or emerging markets exemplified by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, the Americas, India and across SE Asia.
Market intelligence is shared by global leaders in international education consulting as well as the law firms who put deals together, investors, architects, recruiters and the wide range of suppliers all of whom come together to ensure a successful new operation.

IPSEF 2024 – a Review
With schools and investors contributing from Europe, Asia, India, MENA and the USA, IPSEF Global participants secured valuable insights on the global market for new fee-paying schools, and how they become a reality.
Knowledge partner LEK presented data on market growth across different markets, whilst knowledge partner Clyde & Co provided key insights on their respective markets across the world. Gold sponsor Al Tamimi covered the changing landscape in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Other speakers, largely school heads, provided case studies of opening new operations. They also spoke about securing investment funds, working with your legal team, license approval, teacher recruitment, sustainability, future proofing your school, and the role of AI in education.
As well as established markets, the programme also addressed new and emerging markets. India and the USA were covered in depth for the first time at IPSEF. Visit our IPSEF Global 2024 page for details of the conference programme and speakers. Alternatively contact us for more information.
