NEAS Management Conference 2024
12 Weeks To Go!
This week marks the beginning of the 12-week countdown to the NEAS Management Conference with a difference, so let us outline what is in store.
In a more intimate setting at UTS and Aerial Function centre at UTS, seat numbers have been limited to allow for deep, investigative presentations, networking and conversations around the theme of how the ELT world is revolutionising by rethinking, reshaping and redefining. The program this year spans over two days: 9 & 10 May 2024.
The first day: Thursday 9, comprises of the Academic Workshop at UTS, back by popular demand, following last year’s success. Academic Managers, aspiring Academic Managers, Directors of Study and other leaders will gather in an up-beat atmosphere, join multiple workshops, and share thoughts and insights. There will be four sets of four workshops running parallel throughout the day. A light lunch will be provided, and all participants are invited to join us for a drinks and networking at the Old Clare Hotel at the end of the day.
The Main Day: Friday 10, turns the dial to a more formal setting at Aerial UTS Function Centre. Thought leadership keynote speakers will present on topics that plunge deeper into the conference theme of Quality Revolution, Rethinking, Reshaping and Redefining Excellence in ELT.
Top of the bill we have welcome speeches from the Chair of the NEAS Board and our Premium Sponsor IELTS, followed by one of the most exciting leaders in education today: Opening Plenary Speaker Mr Louka Parry. Louka will be followed by three powerhouse Keynote Speakers who will share their remarkable observations of the changes, challenges and innovations in ELT and education in general. After a gourmet buffet lunch, served by Aerial at UTS, there will be three panel sessions focusing on Homestay, Education Agents and Mental Health and Wellbeing.
This day will leave you dizzy with new knowledge, and probably even more questions about the changing future of education and the ELT sector.
