A must attend event for EVCs and school/curriculum leaders!

We know that the role of the EVC can be isolating. We’re working to raise the profile of this crucial role and provide the targeted support you need. The conference is designed with you in mind, be inspired by our speakers and leave with practical ideas that you can implement in school.

The day will be packed full of sessions aimed specifically at you and your role in managing educational visits. There’ll be plenty of time to chat with other EVCs as well as to meet with our sponsors and exhibitors - all carefully chosen to be directly relevant to you and your role.

This event is principally aimed at EVCs, Directors of Co-Curricular and visit leaders but would suit those holding SLT Positions.

Key Note Speaker

Choose from 16 sessions across four themes addressing key challenges in educational visits: funding, risk management, inclusion and making the case for educational visits.

We’re delighted to announce that our keynote speaker will be the inspirational Rhys Jones.

Rhys is an inspirational speaker, expedition guide and world record breaking mountaineer. He reached the summit of Mount Everest on his 20th birthday, having climbed the highest mountain on every continent; known as the Seven Summits Challenge. He has since guided private groups all across the globe, and now runs Campfire Wild Adventures, providing Epic Bushcraft Camps for schools in the U.K. 

Rhys and wife Laura launched Campfire in 2020, keen to bring together their love of the outdoors and their experience in the school travel sector. Since then, thousands of young people have enjoyed bushcraft days at schools and residential visits to Campfire’s unique network of private estates.
