Academia are delighted to announce an exclusive event with Microsoft taking place at the Loftus Road Stadium, home of Queens Park Rangers Football Club in London on the 28th November 2018.

The breakfast briefing, starting at 9am for registration, will be a hands-on workshop to showcase the latest technology from Microsoft that is shaping the classrooms of the future.

Taking place at the home of QPR, Loftus Road is an 18,439 capacity stadium situated in White City in West London and in use since 1906. Packed with incredible history and amazing moments from over 100 years of the football club, QPR is now embracing new technology and will be on hand to showcase the stadium with a free tour at the end of the event.

The workshop will be lead from our partners at Microsoft for Education, stalwarts in the EduTech space and will feature full hands-on experiences of using the new Surface family of devices. On show via an interactive presentation from Steve Beswick, inspirational Education business leader for Microsoft, you will be able to see first-hand and operate the following:
