Our fifth international conference on digital leadership and strategy in higher education will take place on October 6-7 in Edinburgh!
Working groups and interactivity is an important part of our learning experience. Kris Purdy from Glasgow put the participants to work
Here’s a few blog posts and useful summaries from the 2025 conference:
Daniel Serrano from Griddo on two presentations that got me thinking
Elizabeth McCarthy from University of Oxford on one accidental conference theme (spoiler: progress depends on collaboration)
Sarah Wilson joined us from University of Leeds shared three highlights and also said “it was really valuable to step outside of my area of work and learn from leading professionals”
Speakers
Gina Adams (UK)
Senior Digital Marketing Manager at University of St Andrews
Kris Purdy (UK)
Head of Digital Experience at University of Glasgow
Stratos Filalithis (UK)
