This year’s Reimagine Education was the most competitive to-date, with over 500 applications received for our 14 award categories. Our panel of judges have repeatedly remarked on the high quality of applications this year, with hours of conversation and reflection necessary to determine – with difficulty – on each of the 14 shortlists for this year’s competition. Therefore, on behalf of the Reimagine Education team, I’d like to offer warm congratulations to all who have made it through to the penultimate judging stage. There are only a few brief steps left to be completed for those wishing to remain in contention for our Overall Award.

1. Finalise your place at the 2016 Reimagine Education Conference: Anyone wishing to remain in contention for the Overall Award will need to be prepared to present in front of our panel of VIP judges at this year’s conference. Quite aside from this, this year’s conference features an outstanding lineup of luminaries from across the overlapping worlds of academia, educational technology, and government education departments. Please do check out our full agenda here, and be sure to secure your place at reimagine-education.com/conference.
2. Book a presentation slot: As one of our shortlisted candidates, you’re automatically entitled to showcase your project, research, or initiative at this year’s conference. We have a series of 7-minute presentation slots sorted into tracks, so as to ensure that your work is received by the most appropriate audience. Our booking system is now live, so please do make sure that you don’t miss out on the opportunity: from the 14^th November, we’ll be opening any remaining presentation opportunities to longlisted projects.
3. Reserve your place at one of our hotels. More information about this procedure, and the options available to you, can be found in the next article.
