Prices and general information
Our promise
Each year we aim to improve on the previous years’ event. This is what delegates fed back to us about the 2018 Annual Conference:
95.3% of last year’s attendees said they would attend again
96.4% would recommend the Conference to a colleague
“I really enjoyed it […] I left with the feeling of being educated and enlightened personally. Some of the sessions were truly inspiring and made me think about going back to studying myself. It had a nice, non-pretentious feeling and was a good opportunity to meet other people and learn about their experiences. And, all in all, how we are as persons reflects in our working culture, you can’t separate it.”
“It was an excellent conference. Very well organised and a credit to the AUA.”
“This was my first time at the Annual Conference and I enjoyed every minute of it, I got so much out of it and was very impressed with the whole organisation. I met some useful contacts and have already started to utilise these. I definitely plan on returning every year!”
I learned so much – about coaching, resilience, coaching again and managing a web development. Massively exceeded my expectations and made me very proud to be a member of AUA!
“Cannot wait to return!”
Attendance fees
We have a fantastic track record of entertaining, informing and engaging HE Professionals at our Annual Conference. Our large scale events set the tone for trends in HE administration and represent a pivotal occasion for HE professional support staff to discuss, exchange and debate ideas about the current issues facing the sector.
Our Gala Dinner is one of the highlights of the Conference, where you will get the chance to network with fellow professionals in an elegant setting and celebrate the achievements of HE professionals at the AUA Annual Awards.
