Festival of Higher Education 2024 to take place on 12-13 November

The Festival of Higher Education is an unmissable event for anybody involved in higher education. The festival will bring together higher education leaders, opinion-formers, and wonks of all types to discuss the biggest issues facing universities today.

Over two thought-provoking days, you’ll take part in intimate one to one conversations with HE leaders, set-piece debates, and hear insights from journalists, commentators, and policymakers. You’ll hear from speakers inside and outside the sector, learn about new research, data and ideas and meet colleagues old and new, equipping you with fresh thinking and insights ready to take back and share with your team. The festival is unlike any other event on the higher education calendar.

Join us on 12 - 13 November at Senate House, University of London for:

• Discussions and debate about what a new government means for higher education for the next 5+ years
• Understanding what students really think about their time in HE 
• Questions about how universities foster the right sort of leadership and the best possible compact with staff
• An examination of how the sector innovates and adapts in a time of unprecedented financial pressure
• Interactive workshops
• Experts and interlocuters from inside and outside the sector
• Networking with curious and interested people from all around UK HE with a shared passion for the sector
• Refreshments, including a celebration for Wonkhe's 10th birthday.
