This year's conference focuses on exploring what it means to govern with humanity in HE. We will take the time to reflect on how the complex and ever-changing landscape makes it more difficult than ever to navigate policy, politics, and people. We will draw on lessons learned from the past and how we can build on this to create an effective long-term governance strategy.
We will be joined by high-profile speakers from the world of politics, higher education and looking beyond to other sectors for a series of keynotes, panels, and interactive sessions. The conference is an ideal opportunity to connect with fellow Governors in higher education, Governance Professionals, or Executives and learn about developments across the higher education sector, focusing on higher education in the UK and internationally.
