About HE FEST 25
This is a conference about redefining the future of higher education in our corner of the world.
Advancement – including marketing, communications, recruitment, operational strategy and fundraising – is critical to enabling growth, connecting with community and giving higher education institutions the capacity to grow.
Understanding and sharing best practice and fresh ideas in these areas is critical to the future of every Australasian HE provider – and also to the individual jobs of tens of thousands of staff.
This conference will share best practice approaches, new benchmarks for success and provide a multitude of opportunities to create new networks with leaders in these fields. We have developed this conference in consultation with staff across the sector, aiming to maximise the relevance and practicality of the event.
