IHE Annual Conference 2026 image

On Wednesday 18 November, we return to the Royal College of Physicians (RCP London) for the UK's only annual conference dedicated to independent higher education providers.

What to expect

Join us for a full day of insight, discussion and collaboration as we explore the key challenges and opportunities facing the independent higher education sector today.

Our conference programme brings together leading voices from across the sector, featuring keynote addresses, panel discussions and practical breakout sessions focused on current developments in higher education policy and regulation and what they mean in practice for independent providers.

You'll leave with:

  • expert insights from sector leaders
  • a clearer understanding of the implications of evolving policy and regulatory landscape
  • ideas you can apply within your own organisation
  • new connections with peers, decision-makers, and exhibitors (find out who's exhibiting)

There will also be plenty of time for networking with colleagues throughout the day.

In the evening, we celebrate excellence and innovation across our membership at the IHE Awards 2026 ceremony. The ceremony is included in your ticket price.

Further programme details will be announced in the coming months. In the meantime, you can revisit highlights from last year.
