Careers Convention 2026 – Keynote Speaker Sessions 

Thursday 5th February

6:30pm- 8:30pm 

Reading School, Erleigh Road, RG1 5LW

We’re excited to invite you to our biennial Careers Convention, where students can discover a wide range of career paths, meet professionals from leading organisations, and attend inspiring keynote talks. 

We are delighted to welcome over 40 companies from a variety of industries, including architecture and engineering, banking & finance, medicine, law & accounting, international relations, information technology, the public sector, retail, as well as media and communications. 

A huge thank you to our Headline Sponsor, Leiper Gupta Family Lawyers, for their continued support of this event.

Keynote Talks
There will be four keynote talk sessions across three locations.

Please note:

• You can register for one talk per session only.

• Some speakers will deliver two sessions, but the content will be the same, so there’s no need to register twice.

• Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, with a maximum of two tickets per session (one student and one accompanying adult per family).

• Please arrive 5 minutes before the talk for ticket check and seating. You will need to present your ticket to enter the venue. 

• Some speakers are attending in an individual capacity and are not acting as official representatives of their organisations.

Even if you cannot register for a particular talk, you will still have the opportunity to visit the speaker’s stall and speak with them directly.
