Best Practice

The coming 18 months will be a decisive period for your institution. In the current climate of demographic decline, rising student expectations and a more competitive domestic and international market we are all challenged to do more with less.

One great thing about Hobsons University is the content. Our partners – other product users like you who are interested in best practices – give the presentations. Based on your feedback from last year, we will also be incorporating more sessions on Hobsons processes and products directly, as well as ‘how to’ sessions.

With an agenda that includes keynotes from the leading lights in higher education, the Hobsons University Conference will give you the insight into the future shape of education and the marketing, communications and recruitment strategies and technology you need for 2012 and beyond, you will be engaged and inspired.

Great Value

We know you have a limited travel budget and many conference options. We are working hard to keep the Hobsons University Conference free and affordable so our partners are able to attend – whether they are first-time attendees or returning for their third year.

  • The conference is free for up to four attendees from your institution.

  • If you register more than three attendees you will automatically be entered to win a trip to HU in the US!

  • We include internet access throughout the event space.


Green Initiatives

To limit printing and paper use, we will be providing online materials and communications wherever possible. In 2012 we will do all conference evaluations online.


Fun Events

We had the largest attendance ever in 2011 and were proud to see that 98 percent of you said you would recommend the event to a colleague. Register early and book your hotel before we sell out!
