Fostering Collaboration Between Suppliers and Higher Education Leaders

HE Transformation is where senior university leaders shape the future of operational delivery. Align your brand with their transformation agenda, influence long-term investment decisions, and connect with the people reimagining the university model for 2035 and beyond.

Why HE Transformation is the Essential Event for Your Brand

Unlike any other event in the sector, HE Transformation is purpose-built around the transformation agenda shaping higher education to 2035. With new government priorities, sector taskforces and investment challenges pushing operational change to the top of the agenda, now is the moment to position your brand as essential to the future delivery model.

Engage with Decision-Makers at the Heart of Change

Designed as a decision-making hub, HE Transformation connects you directly with the senior leaders mapping out their institution’s future. From Vice Chancellors and COOs to Directors of Estates, Transformation and Digital, you’ll be engaging with those driving high-value strategies and making procurement decisions across every core function.

Seize the Moment: Empower University Transformation

For suppliers, HE Transformation represents a pivotal commercial moment. Universities are under pressure to radically reshape how they operate, driven by financial strain, shifting student needs, and major reform agendas. They’re not just open to transformation, they’re actively seeking partners who can help deliver it.
