University Host

We’re delighted to partner with The University of Sydney – Australia’s first university and one of our most globally recognised institutions.

The university’s main campus is something special. Sweeping lawns. Iconic sandstone cloisters and arched walkways that feel straight out of another era. And then, just around the corner, bold contemporary buildings of glass, steel and light. It’s a campus where heritage and innovation sit comfortably side by side – a powerful reflection of the sector itself.

The heart of our conference will be based within the University’s Business School at the Belinda Hutchinson Building. A purpose-designed learning environment created for collaboration, exchange and applied learning. With open atriums, flexible teaching spaces and natural light throughout, it’s built to bring people together and spark conversation. Exactly what we want at the centre of ATEM2026.

Throughout the conference, there will be opportunities to connect with university leaders and staff. You’ll also have the chance to explore the campus, perhaps on one of our campus tours or simply by carving out time to wander and take it in.

Just minutes from the CBD the Darlington/Camperdown campus offers that rare blend of city energy and collegiate calm. It’s a place that invites you to pause, connect and think a little bigger.

We’re proud to be working alongside The University of Sydney to host this year’s conference, and grateful for their partnership in creating a setting that reflects both the legacy and the future of tertiary education.
