Speak at our events

We are always looking for inspiring and insightful speakers to contribute to our diverse events programme. Our events span a variety of formats, from large conferences to roundtable discussions, and we also welcome contributors to join our webinars, podcasts and to support our policy and campaigns activity.

Whether you’re an expert in your field, a researcher with evidence-based insights, a student sharing lived experiences, or a sector leader shaping the future of higher education, we want to hear from you.

If you’re interested in sharing your expertise, experience, or research, please submit your details via our form below. This will help us understand what topics you can speak on and match you with relevant opportunities.

What are we looking for? 

We particularly welcome proposals from:

• Student speakers sharing experiences and join conversations with sector staff and leaders.
• Individuals from traditionally under-represented groups.
• Experts in our key topic areas.
• Speakers from the UK’s devolved nations and international institutions.
• Evidence-based projects, research or case studies that provide valuable and practical takeaways on our key policy areas.

Please note: We only consider proposals from for-profit organisations through our sponsorship opportunities.

What happens next?

We run events throughout the year on a range of topics, so we regularly review speaker submissions. If a suitable opportunity arises, we will be in touch. Your details will remain on file, and you are welcome to update or request removal at any time by emailing [email protected].

We appreciate every submission, but due to the high volume of interest, we are unable to respond to every request individually.

What kind of event could you be speaking at? 

We organise different types of events including large conferences and small seminars. The event may take place virtually, in-person or as a hybrid event.

We also have a variety of session types including plenary keynotes, panel discussions, breakout or specialist sessions and networking roundtables.

You will be contacted with specific details if you are invited to speak. You can see a list of our past events for examples.
