The Innovating Higher and Further Education Conference

May 2021 marked our first Innovating Higher Education Virtual Conference.

The conference attracted over 140 University leaders from across the UK along with 12, highly recognised, guest speakers and sponsors. The feedback and appetite for another session have been great, therefore, we are very excited to share details of our next instalment.

As the higher education landscape continues to evolve and take on a more transformative path, we will look at some of the most crucial education trends that are redefining education delivery and improving outcomes for students.

The student experience, universities, and the role they play in society has been highly disrupted and financially impacted by the recent pandemic. Universities are now approaching a crossroads in how digital their campus remains…

With leaders across seven of the higher education systems in Europe predicting a fall in national funding, as a result of COVID-19, improving the digital learning experience for students becomes a crucial factor in improving finances and student outcomes.

Innovation and digital technology, including an accelerated adoption of the cloud, will be crucial for universities to invest in. With such technology, universities can focus long term budgets, on teaching programmes and research activities while reducing on-site IT infrastructure costs.

Convenzis Healthcare Event testimonials

Testimonials

Thank you once again for allowing us to exhibit and present directly in the afternoon to the MATs attending. I know it was a lovely day but weather aside it felt wonderful to be back face to face and your conference was so friendly and inviting. I could see the hard work everyone was doing to make it so successful

Department For Education

“the whole event was really well organised and the choice of speakers and the range of topics were of excellent quality.
As a supplier, it was great to gain insight to understand the issues and concerns when considering growing or merging MATs, where the priorities are focused and the key learnings for those CEOs who have gone through the journey.
I would recommend attending a future Convenzis conference or event, as the quality was first class.”

Education Buying

The National MAT Conference was a great first show for us and produced a number of quality lead opportunities.

Quality of the attendees/delegates was great. The Convenzis team were professional and approachable throughout, and special thanks to Daniel for helping us swap stand positions to incorporate the SMART IFP.

Conversations with the MAT delegates who attended our stand on the day were positive and it was good to understand where they were currently in their Digital transformation journey post-pandemic.

A really positive great show. Our partner, Elementary Technology Ltd, also concurred that the quality of the delegates that attended were the right people and those key decision-makers.
