The call for papers is open for Europe’s largest music education exhibition, the Music & Drama Education Expo, taking place on 23 and 24 February 2023 at the Business Design Centre in London.
Applications have also opened for the programme advisory board – a voluntary panel of teachers from across the sector who will work with the heads of content to shape the two-day event.
Each lasting 45 minutes, sessions range from on-the-feet workshops to presentations with seated audiences, and the full programme is CPD-accredited.
Harriet Clifford, head of content for the music stream of the conference programme, said: ‘We’ve seen the quality and diversity of content coming through our Call for Papers go from strength to strength every year.
‘It’s such a privilege to be inviting fantastic educators to share their ideas, expertise and innovations with us, and hopefully with our delegates. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into the submissions and curating a rich, fresh and engaging music programme that will be of genuine benefit to everyone who attends the Expo.’

- Diversity and inclusion
