The conference is expected to draw more than 900 participants, including some 250 global education companies. It will also feature the industry's leading institutional investors, private equity and venture capital funds, as well as industry specialists. The conference is framed around a series of high-level fireside chats, industry panels and Q&A sessions on topics including:
-- From Operator to Serial Education Investor: What's different this time? -- Leading Platforms in Education -- Investors Across The Spectrum -- Schools Around the Globe -- How Data is Driving Results
