Development programmes, conferences and events for those working in higher education

Our programmes and events are carefully designed to support all those working in higher education at every level of experience.

Developing leaders and practitioners to design, deliver and support transformational change

In periods of challenge and change it’s especially important to empower staff through professional development. This is especially true today, when transformational change is a necessity for so many institutions, but something that’s not possible without realising the potential of your people.

Our programmes and events portfolio has been developed to help you and your staff navigate the current environment and establish long-term sustainability for your organisation.

Our 2024-25 portfolio will play an invaluable role in supporting the sector’s drive towards transformational change, supporting student retention and success, effective leadership and governance, career development and institutional sustainability.
