• Middle and senior managers across HE, FE and research and from other educational institutions

• Those in a managerial capacity across many demographics including libraries, business support, curriculum areas and academic departments

Jisc CEO, Heidi Fraser-Krauss said: 

“Alongside resilience, innovation has been the thing that kept us all going throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Being able to reimagine the ways we have always done things and develop processes at pace that fit with the new normal has been extremely difficult, but I believe the UK education and research sectors should be incredibly proud of what has been achieved.  

“Our theme “Hello Innovator” celebrates this success and shines a light on those leading the way in digital innovation. We have some great speakers lined up, as well as some immersive sessions that will provide a deeper dive into digital transformation.  

“Day two of our event also falls on International Women’s Day and I am excited to hear from our keynote speaker, champion for women in computing Professor Sue Black OBE, one of the top 50 women in tech in Europe and a true inspiration.  

“I hope many of you can make what will most certainly be an action-packed and fun event, and I look forward to seeing you there.”
