Whether you’ve already secured your place or are still planning to join us,  the UVAC 2025 National Conference promises to be an unmissable event for professionals working across higher and degree apprenticeships, higher technical education, professional skills, and work-based learning, featuring:

• Keynotes and panels from sector leaders and policymakers
• Interactive workshops tackling real-world challenges and showcasing best practice
• Exhibition and networking opportunities with industry-leading organisations
• A drinks reception to close the day with colleagues, speakers, and sponsors

This year’s theme, “CHANGE”, explores how the sector continues to evolve in response to shifting government policy and the opportunities and challenges this brings for higher education providers, employers, and learners.

Our programme brings together leading voices from across higher education, policy, and industry. Delegates will hear from experts shaping the national skills agenda and those driving innovation on the ground. Highlights include sessions on inspection frameworks for HE, vocational HE in devolved regions, assuring standards through change, and the evolving apprenticeship workforce. Practical workshops and panel discussions will give you the tools, insights, and inspiration to apply fresh thinking to your own provision.

With just a few days left before we open the doors, there is still time to book your place, if you hurry! 

We look forward to welcoming you in Birmingham on the 20 November.
