You might be lucky enough to win £100 of Cambridge ELT materials of your choice! Just bring the completed front page of your delegate notepad to our stand to be entered in the prize draw.

While you're there, you can try out our interactive classroom software and watch demonstrations of other exciting new digital material - classware for children and adults, our blended learning course, Cambridge Financial English, and new web resources. Find out how it could all transform YOUR classroom!

 

PARTY PARTY PARTY!

On Thursday evening (2nd April), we're having a party with Cambridge ESOL in the National Museum to mark the 800th anniversary of the University of Cambridge.

We'd love to see you at the party, so come and collect your invitation from our stand - first come, first served!

And during the coffee break on Friday morning, we'll be celebrating 10 years of Cambridge English Readers and the launch of our forthcoming Cambridge Discovery Readers for teenagers - so do come along for a piece of birthday cake and a glass of bubbly!
