The Higher Education sector in 2023 may feel as if it is facing a perfect storm of funding uncertainty, inflationary pressures, increased competition and a challenging regulatory environment. But future trends point to growing domestic and global demand for university education and a major role for our institutions to play in solving global challenges through original research. The path to 2050 is also paved with technological revolution and societal change.

The SUMS Consulting Annual Conference will look into the crystal ball to discover the university of the future. Our exciting programme will consider the changes that universities will need to make – across the dimensions of people, systems, processes and leadership – to adapt and thrive in this brave new world.

Join our experts from SUMS Consulting and Keynote speaker Professor Ken Sloan, Vice-Chancellor of Harper Adams University, to explore topics including:

• Digital horizons: Introducing the university of the future
• University 2053: Redefining the long-term university experience
• Building a future knowledge economy: Collaborating for the common good
• Thriving futures: Reshaping Student Services for the long-term
• Stick or twist: Gambling on the future of university funding
