In this era of ‘alternative facts’ and ‘fake news’, the role of universities to defend facts has never been more important.
 
How our institutions tell the stories of their contributions, transformations, and enduring value has taken on a new urgency in this context.
 
Our universities need their communications, marketing and philanthropy operations to be clever, expertly skilled, and ahead of the latest developments in their specialist fields.
 
That’s why you won’t want to miss the outstanding program for this year’s Universities Australia Marketing Communications and Development Conference - #UAMCD.
