Thank you to everyone who joined us online from 12 to 14 May 2026 for the UHR Annual Conference. .
Our annual conference is designed to provide exceptional value, ensuring that every HR colleague from our member universities can access high-quality professional development.
Whether attendees were new to HR in HE or seasoned professionals, the virtual format enabled colleagues to engage fully in the conference from the convenience of their own workspace, making it both accessible and cost-effective for busy HR teams.
With an exciting programme featuring headline speakers, breakout sessions and specialist workshops, #UHR26 proved to be an incredible CPD opportunity. Delegates heard from leading experts and practitioners, from both within and outside the sector, who brought fresh insights into the key challenges and opportunities facing HR in HE. In addition, expert-led sessions covered a wide range of topics, with ample opportunity for networking and peer-to-peer learning, while HR teams from universities across the UK shared their experiences and best practice.
Thank you once again to everyone who took part in three inspiring days of learning, collaboration and innovation.
