The UHR Senior HR Summit 2025 took place on 24–25 June, and we enjoyed a fantastic couple of days alongside HR Directors, Chief People Officers, and their senior colleagues. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and warmly welcome those joining us for the first time.
As always, the atmosphere was open, supportive, and energising. Delegates appreciated the rare chance to step away from the demands of daily work to engage in strategic, high-level conversations with peers. The blend of thought-provoking sessions, collaborative learning, and informal networking made for a genuinely rewarding experience, reinforcing just how important this annual gathering has become for senior HR leaders across the HE sector.
We were also joined by an outstanding group of partners, whose depth of knowledge and experience brought real value - sharing insights and building meaningful connections with delegates.
Our Senior HR Summit 2026 will take place on Tuesday 23 and Wednesday 24 June at Edgbaston Park Hotel & Conference Centre, University of Birmingham. Tickets will be released in January 2026 and all HR Directors/Chief People Officers will be notified. We look forward to welcoming you to the 2026 Summit and if you have any questions in the meantime, please email Julie.
