As the countdown to Conference 2024 begins, we asked our Head of Events & Quality, Zoë Card, how this years' programme is shaping up.
New Platform
The launch this year of our Conference Platform is bringing up-to-date information to those registered for the event in real time! Not only can delegates see the conference programme taking shape as it happens, with more interactive features released to allow delegates to network with each other, explore online exhibition space and keep informed on the day about where to be and when. So, no more missing out on those all-important keynotes, refreshments and networking breaks.
Theme
This years’ conference theme “Change -The Impact of KE in a Changing World”, will focus on the current, and future challenges and opportunities facing the sector from political, policy and internal change. We will showcase how KE can effect instrumental change across regions and hear from the Change-makers of our sector and membership body.
Programme
We have had unprecedented interest from our members, industry and representative bodies, with an increase in abstract submissions. This presented a challenge for our Conference Advisory Group, who not only given their time to support the selection process they continue to offer ongoing support and commitment as Conference Chairs – so a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to this group of volunteers. With their support, we are pleased to announce a packed programme this year with pathways in: Leadership & Professionalism, Innovation & Commercialisation, Partnerships & Policy, SHAPE.
Conference 2024 highlights the importance of the SHAPE disciplines to Knowledge Exchange, with a discreet pathway, including workshops and presentations on metrics, TRLs and building national and regional partnerships. We hope this provides even more opportunity for the conference to meet the needs of our diverse membership.
