HESPA 2018 Annual Conference
‘Strategy in a Changing World’
Took place on 8th-9th February, 2018 at Strathclyde University
The HESPA 2018 Annual Conference was the biggest yet and saw over 250 delegates attend, and while planners made up the vast majority of attendees, there was also a balanced combination of other HEI colleagues, agency and sector body staff and business partners. The programme ran similarly to the previous year with a mixture of plenary and breakout sessions.
