SENCON Attended by up to 300 delegates and dozens of industry partners, offering a program that provides time for sharing… to see, hear and discuss topics relevant to what is happening on campuses, rather than simply being ‘presented’ to. Content, stories, and experiences in specific areas of Student Services will be shared through facilitated group discussions, panels, and workshops. Delegates will hear about successful best practice case studies plus discuss new ideas, current challenges, and possible solutions. Discounted pricing for SEN members.

In addition to focusing on professional development, SENCOM will feature our Annual General Meeting (AGM).
