This online hub has been designed to connect attendees both before and after the summit. We encourage delegates and speakers to Join the Community by creating profiles and engaging with each other ahead of the event. Our ambition is for no one to be strangers when they arrive in London.

The programme for the summit is divided into three core themes: Education and Development (19 Sept); Education for Sustainable Development (20 Sept); Peace and Social Justice (21 Sept).

Click on the tabs in the top right hand corner of the homepage to access the programme for each day. Speaker profiles are available by clicking on the photos in the central slider.

Video footage of the morning keynote presentations and panel discussions will be available on this site after the Summit.
