2024

The first edition proved there was demand. Four thousand people came to a hall we were not sure anyone would find. The question for this year was not how many more we could fit, but whether anyone left with a decision instead of a tote bag.

So we built a programme. Twelve seminars, four panels, and for the first time parents registered in their own right, because a seventeen-year-old rarely makes this decision alone and pretending otherwise wastes everybody's afternoon.

We also widened the field list. Medicine and engineering will always draw the longest queues, but a student who wants to study agriculture or design should not have to find that table by accident.
