In some locations, where the configuration and shape of the conference centres and rooms allow, secondary education providers will be allocated in a separate conference room, in order not to mix up with the universities and other types of educators.

The final decision regarding the allocation of secondary education providers will be made shortly prior to the event, depending on the final number and types of educators registered, in order to provide a maximally effective and logical flow of visitors during the event.
