Sessions were organised as a combination of plenary presentations and the opportunity for participants to divide into five concurrent theme groups for on-going discussions running throughout the conference. Theme groups (for which abstracts and summaries may be found on this website) focused, respectively, on: 

• History & Nature of International Education; 
• Curriculum & Assessment; 
• Professional Development; 
• Organisation of Schools & their Communities; and 
• Governance of International Education. 

A Conference Summary was presented in a final session led by Professor George Walker (Director General of the IBO and a visiting professor at the University of Bath) and the conference concluded with the Chair’s closing remarks. The conference provided three days of stimulating ideas and opportunities for discussion, and we hope the attached summary documents will also prove of interest.

• Professor Jeff Thompson: Opening address; 
• Sir John Daniel: Plenary session; 
• Hon Greg Crafter: Plenary Session;
