Attendance is invite-only to ensure the highest quality of connections and conversations.

Open to leading UK, Swiss and European private schools, both boarding and day. 


 

Tuesday 3rd March 2026

AgentsConnect is hosted online with all meetings and sessions running between 09:00 and 13:00 BST.

Not a webinar. Not an expo - a new way to build admissions partnerships that work.

This streamlined online event provides a structured platform for pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, live presentations, and curated networking opportunities – all hosted in a seamless virtual environment.

Designed to foster lasting partnerships, ISS AgentsConnect brings together the excellence of private schools with the world’s most trusted pupil placement professionals.

Strictly by invitation. Agents that would like to participate should please email Tilly Davies [email protected] to start the onboarding process.

I genuinely think it was an inspired event. The time flew, the talks were spot on, not only in content but also in terms of delivery. It was great to meet new faces and to see a few old ones, and my diary is rapidly filling up with invitations to visit a fantastic array of schools, which will keep me out of mischief for a while!
Incredibly worthwhile. I think there has undoubtedly been a big shift in the perception of the value of a great consultants/agent/ school partnership and this morning was proof positive of that.
The networking sessions were fantastic and, I have to be honest, I started off thinking ‘will anyone want to talk to me?’ and imagined myself twiddling my thumbs but absolutely not!
It was brilliant - I spoke to 15 fantastic schools. The randomness made it even more fun, like a lucky dip to see who was next.

How it works

The morning includes:

  • Pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings between agents and schools

  • Intelligent 2-way matching system

  • Live welcome and short high-level presentations providing vital market intelligence

  • Optional drop-in networking spaces

  • Tech support and orientation provided in advance

Participants receive a personalised morning schedule and joining links ahead of the event.

Supporting Schools and Agents Through Our BSA Partnership

We are thrilled to be partnering with the Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA) to strengthen our commitment to delivering added value for both agents and schools, while supporting BSA member schools in recruiting international students and enhancing opportunities for BSA Certified Agents.

This partnership brings together the BSA’s trusted network of certified pupil placement professionals with the Independent Schools Show’s established platform for meaningful engagement. By working together, we aim to create more opportunities for high-quality connections, knowledge sharing and long-term collaboration between schools and agents.
