The event, which is organised and promoted by the Digital Education Group (DEG), in partnership with its international and local partners, is on the theme: ‘Creating Competitive Advantage in Education’.
According to the organisers, this year’s event , which is in its 11th year, will focus on contemporary topics such as competitive advantage through branding, financing school projects and buses, being abreast of technology, instructional strategy, promoting schools on the country’s only schools search engine—Easyschoolfind, among others.

A statement from the organisers quoted Mr Sackey as saying that the programme would provide the platform for educators to network and share best practices in education.
