Once again, this year we are hosting the annual Higher Education Conference, a flagship event for academic partners within the ICAEW Partner in Learning (PiL) Programme. The conference will take place in July and is open to Partners in Learning across the globe. Last year, we had attendees on the day representing over 50 HEIs.

The conference serves as a vital touchpoint between ICAEW and our Partners in Learning, offering a chance to collaborate, share best practices, explore emerging trends and strengthen the link between education and the evolving world of accountancy. The day will feature a variety of exciting speakers, from both ICAEW and external speakers from within the HEI space, to share their expertise, with a series of thought-provoking sessions aimed at aligning academia with the future needs of the profession. Discussions will reflect the rapidly changing landscape of accounting, tying into the main pillars of the Next Gen ACA – technology, ethics and sustainability.

Please note, this is an in-person event hosted at Chartered Accountants’ Hall in London for Partners in Learning.

If you would like to check if your institute is registered as an ICAEW Partner in Learning, please check the list.

To hear more information about the HEI Conference, please make sure your institute is already registered OR complete an application to become a PiL.
