Southern SUs Conference

Student speaking on stage at an awards ceremony

Welcome to the Southern SUs x Herts SU Winter Conference

Building and growing our networks

 

Students’ Unions build arguably some of the most collaborative networks around – and call us biased, but we believe the Southern SUs Network is the absolute best example of this! Though hosted at Herts, this year’s Winter Conference features shared insights from across the brilliant unions in our network. The sessions are designed as conversations, with breakouts, roundtables and plenty of time built in for networking, because we know that's where the magic happens. You'll come away with new knowledge and connections to help you and your unions grow even more. Most of all, we hope you leave feeling inspired, equipped and energised by our fantastic community

 

The conference is open to SU staff and officers and is designed with flexibility in mind – attend for one day or both! Sessions will feature a range of topics, with everything from embracing AI through to free speech. View the full programme below to see everything from accommodation & pricing through to sessions & workshops
