The conference will present some of the leading thinkers in strategy, reputation, communications, branding and international relations, and deliver findings from two research projects, one focussed on staff engagement in world leading universities, the other addressing the corporate impact of rankings within world ranked universities. You can register your own views and contribute to this research now!
Those holding senior reputation management and leadership roles in higher education are invited to be a part of this high value event which offers the chance to engage with Hong Kong's world-class universities and to meet with colleagues who also value their international reputation. The conference is being hosted by The University of Hong Kong, with the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology enabling you to join small group tours with opportunities to meet key staff.
The Times Higher Education and the Chronicle of Higher Education will cover the conference editorially, so this is a great opportunity to showcase you university, its ambitions and achievements; there will be three structured discussion sessions to ensure that there is plenty of opportunity to share best practice and debate the issues to a deeper level.
