Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to advise that our 2022 Universities HR Benchmarking Conference will be held virtually from 7-9 September. This will be an opportunity to “gather” and converse with a range of high-calibre presenters to discuss matters pertinent to universities now and into the future. The 3-day conference program will involve 8 x 45/60 min sessions “before and after lunch” on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

We hope you will be able to join us for this important on-line event and make this conference one to remember!

Henry Wong
Conference Manager
