The content themes for Ahead by Bett

In response to emphatic demand from the Higher Education community, we're launching Ahead by Bett in March 2022. Designed to provide senior leadership teams with a place to learn, network and trade, this event brings together experts and innovators from across the sector to tackle the plethora of business and pedagogical challenges faced by universities today.

In order to help'you'navigate our three stages of content, and to ensure we're truly meeting the needs of the Higher Education community, we've created six distinct themes to help structure our conference programme. Informed by interviews with Higher Education professionals and discussions with our advisory board, these themes are designed to highlight current challenges, digital outlook and aspirations in terms of strategy.'
