About the Event

The UCISA Spotlight on Digital Capabilities Conference is a virtual conference run by the Digital Capabilities and Digital Education Groups. It brings together university leaders, IT professionals, learning technologists and academics to discuss the latest trends and challenges in digital capabilities.

As technology continues to evolve, the need for a digitally fluent workforce in higher education has never been more pressing. This conference delves into:

  • Strategies for preparing staff to navigate the next wave of digital transformation, from AI and automation to the metaverse.
  • The exploration of practical approaches to upskilling, fostering digital capabilities, and building a culture of lifelong learning within your institution.
  • Learning how to future-proof your workforce and ensure that your staff are not only keeping pace with emerging technologies but are equipped to leverage them to enhance teaching, research, and administration.

The conference will feature keynote speakers from leading universities and organisations with the opportunity to follow-up with a collaboration event later in the year. We are looking for speakers who can talk to this topic, sharing their experience within their own institution. Sessions will be 20-30 minutes to include time for questions.

Should you be willing to share your experience, please complete the speaker proposal form.
