This summer, we had the privilege of photographing The KG’s annual conference, held at the The Manchester Deansgate Hotel (formerly known as Hilton Manchester Deansgate Hotel) . Over two days, colleagues from across the group came together to reflect on the past year and look ahead at how they can continue supporting schools in new and meaningful ways.

The conference was packed with inspiring moments. Delegates heard from a fantastic lineup of speakers, including Sarah Smith MP, Donald Clark, and a powerful panel featuring Ruth Agnew MBE, Danny Garton, Emma Gibbons, and Vicky Bray. Alongside keynotes and panel discussions, there were workshops, demos, and plenty of opportunities for genuine connection.

From behind the lens, our aim was to capture the energy of the event as it unfolded, from the thought-provoking talks and engaged audiences, to the candid conversations happening during the breaks. Nothing tells the story of a conference quite like those in-between moments of learning, laughter, and collaboration.

The celebrations continued after hours with post-conference drinks at Freight Island, where we switched gears to capture a more relaxed and social side of the gathering. These candid shots add another layer to the story; showing the value of connection not just in the conference room, but in the conversations that happen long after the last session wraps.

The final image set provided The KG with a comprehensive visual record of their summer conference, from impactful speaker moments to relaxed networking and celebration. These photographs are now being used across their communications to showcase the event’s success and highlight their commitment to supporting schools in innovative ways.

We know that a conference is more than just presentations; it’s about people, energy, and connection. Our goal is to capture those moments in a way that reflects the full story of your event. From large-scale conferences to more intimate gatherings, we bring a documentary approach that ensures nothing is missed, while keeping the photography discreet and natural.

If you’re planning an event and want to ensure it’s captured in a way that reflects its impact, get in touch with us. We would love to help.
