Welcome to Tying it all Together - the Universities Marketing, Communications and Development Conference 2007.

The biennial Universities Marketing, Communications and Development Conference is the principal forum for university marketing, communications and development delegates from across Australia , S.E. Asia and the Pacific to meet, learn, network, mentor and exchange ideas.

The 2007 conference is a must attend for university marketers and communicators and for those grappling with the vagaries and complexities of fundraising and development in the tertiary sector.

The conference theme, Tying it all Together, is particularly relevant as universities attempt to eliminate “work silos” and encourage intelligence-sharing across the various marketing and communication units.

A mentoring program will allow younger staff and emerging leaders to swap ideas and discuss issues with senior practitioners – some from outside the tertiary education environment.

This will be a conference of great ideas as industry practitioners and experts from outside the sector share thoughts and initiatives. Speakers will stimulate thinking and maybe even touch a nerve or two while the conference itself will be a forum to open minds and encourage self examination, creativity and lateral thinking in the marketing and development arenas.
