Join us online from 11 to 13 May 2027 for the UHR Annual Conference, once again hosted virtually.
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 you are new to HR in Higher Education or a seasoned professional, this virtual format allows you to engage fully in the conference from the convenience of your 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, #UHR27 will be an incredible CPD opportunity. You’ll hear from leading experts and practitioners, from both in and outside the sector, who will bring fresh insights into the key challenges and opportunities facing HR in Higher Education. In addition, expert-led sessions will cover a wide range of topics, there will be ample opportunity for networking and peer-to-peer learning and HR teams from universities across the UK will also be sharing their experiences.
We look forward to welcoming you for three inspiring days of learning, collaboration and innovation.
The conference programme and tickets will be released in January 2027.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest to present workshops at the UHR Conference 2027, to be held virtually from 11 - 13 May.
In 2026, the conference brought together more than 2,800 delegates to discuss every aspect of the HR remit in higher education, with many more watching recordings of sessions subsequently. Presenting at the UHR conference gives speakers a real platform for sharing interesting information and new approaches, for engaging with the UHR community, and for influencing sector thinking.
Deadline for submission: Wednesday 11 November
