We are inviting CHEAD member institutions to submit applications to convene the 2024 CHEAD Annual Conference.
The CHEAD Annual Conference is a popular, member networking event, offering a platform for CHEAD member representatives to come together around a live sector theme for debate and discussion. Each year the conference is hosted by a different member institution that works closely with CHEAD Trustees and Director to organise the conference around an agreed theme.
The annual conference aims to bring together speakers, contributors and facilitators to engage with debates relevant to the art and design HE community.
