Expanding Networks

Networking is among the top reasons why CUBO members attend summer conference. Conference is a fantastic opportunity to get to know national and international colleagues, strengthen existing connections and forge new ones that contribute to a more collaborative HE landscape and the sharing of invaluable experience and information.  An exhibition of trusted CUBO partners provide opportunities to discuss new collaborations and the innovative services on offer to enhance campus experiences.

The CUBO Summer conference exceeded all of my expectations. As well as an outstanding programme of speakers, workshops and events, I came away with countless new ideas, connections and opportunities to help me deliver greater value in my corner of the HE world, and do my bit to shape the future of university campus services.

As someone new to the sector, CUBO Summer Conference provides a brilliant opportunity to learn from my peers and to build a network of friendly support and advice that I can access all year.

Must offer my thanks to the CUBO team and all at Queen's University Belfast for staging and hosting such an engaging summer conference. It has got to be right up there as one of the best for content. Great breakouts on some interesting topics, and some fab social activities allowing time to catch up with other HE colleagues which culminated with the annual awards dinner. Looking forward to the next installment!
