Overview
Covid-19 has definitively reshaped higher education forever. Things will never be the same again. For all intents and purposes, this is the new normal.
Universities’ marketing and communications teams have already displayed enormous resilience by moving services online and developing new and agile methods to communicate with prospective and existing students, staff and the wider community. How can we use what we have learned thus far to build resilient and innovative new ways of working, and make sure that we are doing the best we can to enhance our institutions’ recovery?
This one-day, national conference will bring together communications, marketing, external relations, public affairs and digital professionals to explore how the sector can navigate this new landscape it finds itself in.
Why should you attend?
A highlight of the year, this one-day event is dedicated for marketing and communications professionals to hear from sector experts on what to expect for the coming year, as well as to share best practice and network with peers.
Topics we will cover include:
- Covid-19 recovery - what next?
- Student recruitment and Covid-19
- Communicating value to different stakeholders
- Social media and Gen Z
- Internal relations and communications
