Pressure is increasing for MATs to achieve economies of scale and become more financially sustainable. DfE guidance makes clear the expectation to "get the best value for every pound spent" and save money on education's current £10 billion non-staffing costs.

This one day conference provides an immersive day of targeted workshops and informative keynotes to ensure MATs can benefit from organisational and financial efficiencies.

The event will allow delegates to develop innovative strategies including:
• Procurement - understand the best approach to efficient procurement across the MAT to generate substantial long-term savings.
• Value for money - benchmark the school’s income and expenditure to achieve value for money.
• Practical - hear from COOs and CFOs on how they are achieving efficiencies in their MAT.
• Network - discuss challenges with 150 MAT leaders from across the country.
