This year, our virtual conference focussed on the theme 'Transforming Governance for a new normal'.
The conference provided a forum to share practice and discuss the key governance issues arising as we face the first full academic year of higher education delivery during a global pandemic, which has already created significant change in the way providers operate. Another key focus of the conference was on how governance enables institutions to move forward embedding inclusivity in all that they do, in order to be truly fit for the future.
We looked beyond the sector, addressing practice, developments and insights and exploring whether, and how, these could be adopted in HE. With a mix of plenary, parallel and panel sessions the event offered an opportunity for those committed to professionalising governance to network with senior peers, engage with the issues of the moment and take new ideas and insights back to their institution.
