Pitched at an executive level, the Forum will present a strategic overview of the social, technological, governmental, economic and demographic trends shaping the future of the education sector. 

The Future Forum is designed for leaders in education from public and independent schools at both primary and secondary levels, universities, TAFE and technical colleges, private and community colleges.   

The Education Future Forum will provide world-class experts, focused on the future of education, pitched at an executive level, for all organisations across the education sector. It is specifically designed for principals and executive teams, bursars and business managers, university deans, department and faculty heads, marketing teams and board members.  

It is one thing to observe the trends, it is another to be strategically positioned to respond to them. That’s why the Forum will focus on both near-term (2011-12) and long-term (2020) forecasts. Below are some of the key outcomes you can expect from the Future Forum.

4 Reasons Why You Should Attend...

Observe the Trends - know what's next:

Leaders need to push the pause button occasionally and identify the future opportunities and challenges rather than just focus on the immediate issues. The Education Future Forum is focused on helping educators understand the times and observe the emerging trends.

Short and long-term insights:

People tend to overestimate what will take place in 20 years – but they generally underestimate what will happen in the next five. This is why the Education Future Forum is geared to deliver short and medium term insights – not just long-term forecasts.

Research-based: get the right forecasts:

Future forecasts are only valid when based on solid research and extrapolated by valid means. The presenters at the Education Future Forum are some of the leading experts in their field.

Multi-factorial insights from top experts:

Future analysis is only useful when it is actionable. The Education Future Forum is based on a comprehensive analysis of the future rather than a single factor forecast. From technology to the economy, from changing parental expectations to regulatory change, from demographic analysis to innovation strategies, you’ll find the Education Future Forum provides a total overview.
