If you’ve been waiting for a sign … this is it. ATEM2026 is THE tertiary education event of the year.

Three (and a bit) big days of ideas, practical sessions and the kind of conversations that keep rolling long after the lanyards come off. Bring your curiosity, your “we should totally try that” energy, and a notebook (digital or otherwise). And yes, you will absolutely get FOMO from hearing from those who attended and realised you missed something amazing. You’ll hear things like:

  • “I’ve already got three great ideas to take back to my team and set in motion.”
  • “I have found my north star, it’s reminded me why I love working in this sector”
  • “I found my tribe – so many interesting connections.”

Who should attend?

Anyone with a passion for the tertiary sector. We are a unique gathering bring together people from across the sector – agnostic to discipline, role and seniority.  You might be:

  • A senior leader shaping strategy and culture
  • An academic or teacher stepping into management and leadership roles
  • An emerging leader stepping up and building confidence
  • A specialist driving professional practice in your area
  • A manager navigating complexity with your team
  • A policy, operations or service expert making the system work
  • Or someone who simply cares deeply about the future of higher and vocational education

The common thread is curiosity, commitment and a desire to keep learning and innovating. You’ll find your people here.
