Annual Conference
The COBIS annual conference is one of the standout events for British International schools each year. The quality of the speakers is second to none and there is always new, innovative and forward-thinking content to get conversations started and to fill you with ideas to take back. A particular standout in 2025 was the voice to the students who managed to confidently and articulately deliver thought-provoking presentations and panel discussions.
