The highly anticipated School Summit NI is set to return to the Eikon Exhibition Centre on the 5th and 6th of October, marking another major milestone for one of Northern Ireland’s most anticipated education and careers events.

Now firmly established as a key date in the academic calendar, School Summit NI will once again bring together students, educators, employers, universities, and training providers under one roof. Organisers say this year’s event promises to be “bigger and bolder than ever,” building on the success of previous editions that have attracted thousands of attendees from across the region.



Designed to inspire and inform young people about their future pathways, School Summit NI offers a dynamic mix of interactive exhibitor zones, live talks, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with industry professionals, explore career options, and gain valuable insights into further and higher education routes.

The event has become widely recognised across Northern Ireland, providing a platform for meaningful connections between students and the organisations shaping tomorrow’s workforce.

With its return this October, School Summit NI is once again poised to inspire the next generation to explore possibilities, make informed decisions, and take confident steps toward their future.
