CASE Europe Annual Conference 2018

The CASE Europe Annual Conference gathers over 1000 practitioners from the worlds of fundraising, alumni and supporter relations, marketing, communications and recruitment together with senior education leaders and strategists from across the world in one place, over one week. With talks, workshops, and masterclasses that will bring a truly global perspective, join senior speakers from inside and outside the sector at this unmissable event.

The theme for this year’s conference is Universities in their place looking at geographical context, economies, their policies, cultures and communities. Asking are we out of touch, dislocated elite institutions self-serving the citizens of nowhere that need to be ‘put back in their place’? Or are we anchor institutions that can act as a stable, civically-minded institution that provides economic bulwark against the forces of globalisation?
