150 delegates, speaker and sponsors took part in the virtual COBIS Conference for Bursars, Business Managers and HR Staff, 3-5 February 2021. Participants included delegates from more than 60 schools in 40 different countries.

The programme included sessions on international safer recruitment, diversity and inclusion, wellbeing, operational responses to Covid-19, the future of teacher recruitment, and much more. We are grateful to our headline sponsors, iSAMS, our other conference sponsors, and all of the participants and presenters who took part in this three-day event.

Some lovely feedback from delegates:

• "I found the conference very enriching and well organised. It's always useful and often inspirational to hear what other colleagues are doing, especially during the times like these."
• "I thought that the conference was very good online and gives excellent value for money."
• "This was a superb conference. [...] You had a tremendous range of speakers."

We look forward to building on the success of this virtual conference at our virtual Annual Conference, 10-13 May 2021.
