The shape of things to come – how will you leverage lucrative opportunities facing the 3rd largest export industry in Australia, valued at in excess of $17.2 billion p.a.?
In 2009 the Rudd government did indeed “outline a blueprint of structural reform…to end months of uncertainty” (Financial Review, 4 May 2009). However, as a consequence, the higher education sector now faces more uncertainty & multiple challenges, including augmented student numbers coupled with the lack of infrastructure, recovering endowment portfolios post GFC, the need to develop innovative revenue streams to supplement severe funding shortfalls, and on top of it, investing in infrastructure to support a much bigger, better, efficient & world-class university.
The 2nd annual Education Outlook 2010 event will shine the spotlight on the business of higher education.
This is the only event that a) focuses solely on the commercial issues facing universities and b) is designed to cater for the entire spectrum of the higher education sector, including Universities, TAFE, Private training providers, Business schools, Government & Business.
Over 2 intensive days your will hear first-hand the lessons learnt by 50+ thought leaders through 8 panel sessions, 2 roundtable discussions and a further 14 presentations
This not-to-be-missed conference will table issues that directly impact on your bottom line and will provide the ultimate platform to debate the intricacies of commercialising research & innovation, innovative funding optimisation strategies, emerging technologies as a means to drive large-scale growth, the impact of policy changes on international student enrolments, attracting greater philanthropy to secure sustainable investment, accelerated growth and investment through stronger coalitions, and strategies to secure your competitive advantage in a crowded global market.
Ensure that you mark your calendar for 17-19 August 2010 and be in the front row to hear directly how global market leaders have successfully dealt with the challenges facing their universities. Plus! New to this year’s event is the
BusEd Alliance gala dinner aimed at crafting linkages between the business and higher education sectors.
