The theme of this year’s conference is the impact of our work as Development Services professionals. Be it personal or professional, impact is at the heart of what we do and underpins our focus on the overall aim of our roles , uniting us across the many different threads we pull together. Through plenaries, roundtable discussions and networking with colleagues in the industry, we hope to remind you of the impact of your work and renew your sense of purpose, as well as offering practical takeaways on how to measure impact in your institution. By attending this conference, we hope you will be reminded of how we can and do create lasting impact for alumni, students and our institutions alike.
