Event Information
We are excited to launch a new addition to the AUA events calendar for 2012-13: the autumn Development Conference. Offering a low-cost, one-day format to complement the flagship Annual Conference, this conference will appeal to a broad cross-section of AUA members. Based around three key themes- understanding HE, professional practice, and mentoring, there will be a choice of sessions delivered by key figures in the sector.
AUA Members attending the Development Conference are invited to attend the
AUA Annual Lecture, which takes place at the Holiday Inn following the Conference. Please note that this event is open to AUA members only and
online registration is required in advance.
