What it is

It is the one part of the expo that is not about courses. The stalls wind down, the stage stays, and the hall turns into a room full of people who spent the day being sold to and would now rather hear somebody sing.

The acts are mostly students from the schools on the floor. That is the whole appeal: a few hundred people is a bigger room than most of them have played, and it costs nothing to stand up in.

Times, rounds and anything that has a price on it are set per edition. When the 2026 line-up is fixed it goes up on the EduExpo page first.
