“Fantastic event, with interesting content and very well organised.”
Alain Squiteri, Sales Director - InVentry
I thought the day was excellent. It was really good to have the companies there and invaluable for meeting and speaking with new contacts. I really hope this carries on as it was desperately needed in our field.
Janet Cannell, Member
We’re really proud to be ANME’s platinum sponsor. It’s such a great platform for school network managers to get together and share ideas, plus it provides us the opportunity to speak directly to schools using our solutions and get their feedback and input into new features. Every event is always different, with fantastic speakers providing real insight and ideas on all things edtech.
Al Kingsley, Group Managing Director, NetSupport Limited
ANME meetings provide valuable networking - being able to talk to other professionals doing the same role and understanding their approach and their context. This is a great way to challenge what you are doing in your own setting.
Neil Limbrick, ANME Ambassador
A fantastic online resource of like-minded professionals that you can use to bounce ideas off, chat things through, get advice from. Invaluable.
Ric Turner, Balshaws Church of England High School
The ANME is a priceless resource for anyone working in an IT support role in the education sector. The online forum is lively and informative and the regular meetings provide insight into new products and valuable networking opportunities with peers from other establishments. I've lost count of the number of valuable conversations and helpful tips that I've had since becoming a member. If you've not been to a meeting before then try to attend the next one in your area, you won't be disappointed.
Dave Leonard, ANME Ambassador and ICT Manager at Matthew Moss High School
The ANME has been a great resource when you're a lone IT manager, now you have friends going through the same obstacles as you, with plenty of advice and guidance.
Michael Frost, ANME Member & IT Network Manager at Parkwood Hall Co-operative Academy
Being part of the ANME is like being part of a large corporate IT department, there's always someone you can ask for advice
Paul Gillon, ANME Member & Network Manager at West Hill School, Stalybridge
ANME is like having a team of IT experts at my fingertips. It helps me keep up to date with the latest trends in IT education.
Rick and the ANME members have always helped when I've needed extra guidance to make great IT decisions
Clifford Fernandes, ANME Member & IT Manager at Claremont High School
I attended my first ANME regional meeting recently which was great. It was Informative, relevant and useful! Unlike some meetings I attend where you get one or two useful nuggets of information, but other bits have been added to the agenda as fillers. Glad to be a member of this group of like-minded individuals.
Adam Hall, ANME Member & IT Operations Manager at Four Oaks Learning Trust
