FAQ
Questions, answered.
Edition 3 of the Global Teachers’ Meet takes place on Sunday, 31 January 2027, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST at the Bangalore International Centre, Domlur, Bengaluru. Earlier editions were held online, but this edition is in person only.
The Global Teachers’ Meet is for teachers, school leaders, teacher trainers, parents, students in Grades 6–12, education sector professionals and anyone interested in education. Students must be added by a responsible adult. Children under 10 years of age are not permitted.
The early-bird entry fee is ₹499 per person, including GST. Adding a student costs ₹199 (including GST), which covers the student only and is in addition to the adult’s own entry fee. School registrations pay the same entry fee, with no school discount. You can pay online by UPI, card or net banking.
Yes. You can enter the venue at any time during the event, and your entry pass allows multiple entries. After you pay, you will receive your entry pass as a digital ticket with a QR code.
No. Entry passes are non-transferable, so no one else can use yours. This applies even if you cannot attend, or can attend only part of the event.
No. The entry fee is non-refundable if you are unable to attend, whatever the reason.
Individual sessions are free, but registration for them is separate from your entry pass, and you need to register for each session you want to attend. Registration opens once the session schedule is announced. Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability, and some sessions are by invitation or selection only.
Yes. A responsible parent, guardian or teacher can add one student per registered adult. For example, one adult can add one student, and two adults can add two students. The student fee is ₹199 (including GST), in addition to each adult’s own entry fee. Student registration stays open only for as long as CENTA keeps it open, so please add students early.
The adult who registers a student is fully responsible for the student’s safety and conduct. In school registrations, the responsible adult is the teacher the student is matched with. That adult must also hold CENTA harmless for any issue, incident or behaviour involving the student, as set out in the applicable Terms and Conditions.
Yes. The person registering teachers must confirm that they are authorised to represent the school. Each teacher receives their own entry pass by email. The pass is specific to that teacher and cannot be transferred to another teacher, even within the same school. The entry fee is the same as for individual registrations, and all other entry terms also apply.
The school must obtain all necessary permissions from parents before registering children and bringing them to the event, and it confirms this when adding students. Obtaining these permissions is the school’s responsibility, not CENTA’s. As with other registrations, each registered adult can add one student, and the student fee is ₹199 (including GST).
It is a challenge in which schools register teams of their teachers. The participation fee is ₹1,000 per school (including GST). This fee does not include entry, so each participating teacher must also register separately for the Global Teachers’ Meet. The challenge may include a preliminary submission before the event; the format, eligibility, team size and judging are still to be confirmed. The programme on the day also includes a prize distribution, with details to be confirmed.
Drinking water will be available at the venue, and we encourage you to bring your own water bottle. Food will be available to buy and is not included in the entry fee.
Parking at or near the venue is limited, so we encourage you to use public transport, a taxi or the drop-off facilities. Limited valet parking may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Roadside parking near the venue is not permitted, so please cooperate with the security staff.
CENTA, the venue team and security staff may ask any participant to leave the venue for unprofessional behaviour or illegal activity, and no refund will be given in such cases. CENTA is not responsible for issues arising at the venue, including force majeure events or acts of God, as set out in the event Terms and Conditions.
