In person events and gatherings for EAs In Education
THE GATHERING:the sequel
Join us for THE GATHERING:THE SEQUEL, our second annual gathering of Executive, Personal and Administrative professionals working within education.
The theme for this year’s gathering draws inspiration from Canberra, Australia’s national capital. As the centre of politics and decision-making, Canberra represents influence, leadership and advocacy. In the same way, building capital in our careers reflects the emerging voice of EAs in Education and the impact we bring to our school communities.
EAs are uniquely positioned to build relationships, shape decisions, advocate, advise and drive school success.
Our human, social and political capital – built on reputation, relationships and performance is essential to drive improvement, support career growth and forge strong networks.
WHEN WE UNITE, GREAT THINGS HAPPEN.
The Gathering begins on the afternoon of Thursday 4 June at Hotel Realm, Canberra, creating the time and space to centre the EA as an individual with a focus on our human capital. This personal foundation supports every other form of capital we hold. The program continues on Friday 5 June at Radford College, an independent school set on 46 acres. Here, the Gathering provides the perfect collaborative environment for likeminded peers who aspire to lead, learn and succeed in their professional pathways.
Through expert insights, shared experiences and practical takeaways, discover how to shape your career with purpose and invest in your capital – expanding your influence as a leader, cultural architect and professional shaping the future of our vital profession.

Meet & Greet: EAs in Education Information Session
Let’s Connect. Let’s Talk 2026.
Friday 23 January 2026, 12.30pm (online)
As Founder of EAs in Education, I warmly invite you to join me for an informal Meet & Greet designed for anyone curious about what’s ahead in 2026 - including new, current, and prospective members.
This is a relaxed, conversational session, not a presentation - where you can ask questions, explore upcoming program offerings, and learn more about how EAs in Education supports Executive Assistants working in education settings.
Whether you’re new to the community or have been following our journey for some time, this session is simply about connection, clarity, and conversation.
During this Meet & Greet, we’ll chat about:
the vision and focus for EAs in Education in 2026
upcoming professional learning programs and events
what’s involved, who programs are designed for, and how to participate
how EAs in Education supports connection, growth, and belonging
any questions you may have - big or small
There’s no pressure and no expectation - just an opportunity to learn and connect.
I hope to see you online.
