About

The annual Futures Convention is organised jointly between the Eastbournian Society and Futures department to provide current pupils with an opportunity to learn about potential career paths, university destinations, gap year options, and more.

The event is attended by more than 400 pupils and over 70 delegates - many of whom are former pupils or parents. The event is also open to other Eastbourne schools as part of the Coastal Schools Partnership. We are highly reliant on former pupils, as well as current and former parents, volunteering their time to make the event a success, and so we would like to invite our entire membership base to attend.

Any industry or career path is welcomed. We are especially keen for representatives working in less traditional career paths to expand the variety of futures on offer to students at the convention. There is no requirement to be representing your organisation in an official capacity - you can simply attend as an individual to share your experiences with pupils.

The draft schedule for the evening is as follows:

6.00pm Dinner available for delegates (free of charge)

7.00pm Convention begins for day pupils

8.00pm Convention begins for boarding pupils

9.00pm Convention closes. Post event drinks & networking for delegates.
