EMPOWER HE CONFERENCE 2024

At Empower 24, we aim to showcase this spirit of innovation and collaboration that is driving the future of SITS. This year, we've meticulously planned sessions that are not just talks but catalysts for change, designed explicitly for you - many of the delivered by you!

The digital landscape is vast and varied, and higher education institutions must stay ahead to not just survive but thrive. At Empower 24, our sessions are grouped into several themes, each tailored to address the most pressing issues and opportunities in the world of higher education IT.

Explore the myriad ways in which SITS can be seamlessly integrated into your existing systems to enhance efficiency, improve data accuracy, and foster an environment of continuous innovation. Sessions under this theme will cover best practices, innovative integration strategies, and real-world case studies that demonstrate successful implementations.

Data is the lifeblood of strategic decision-making. Sessions focused on data will offer insights into harnessing the power of data, employing advanced analytics techniques, and utilising AI to derive actionable insights. These discussions will empower attendees to transform raw data into a strategic asset, enhancing decision-making processes and institutional success.

In the digital age, the user experience is paramount. Our sessions will examine the principles of designing user-centric systems, methodologies for enhancing user engagement, and strategies to improve the overall user experience. Learn how to leverage SITS to create intuitive, engaging, and effective platforms for students, faculty, and staff.

With great power comes great responsibility. In our dedicated sessions on security, privacy, and compliance, experts will discuss the emerging threats in cyber security, the importance of privacy regulations, and how to ensure your systems are compliant with global standards. These discussions are crucial for maintaining the trust and safety of your institution's data and systems.

The only constant in technology is change. Our sessions on future-proofing your institution will provide a roadmap for anticipating future trends, adapting to technological advancements, and ensuring your institution remains competitive in an ever-evolving landscape.
