Disruption – The Creator of Opportunities
Unimutual’s Annual Conference 2022 was held virtually on Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th of March.
Due to the current Covid-19 case numbers, we’ve had to make some changes to this year’s Annual Conference. In the interests of everyone’s health and safety, we’ve decided to convert the conference to a virtual event and the dates have been updated to the 17th and 18th of March from 12:30pm – 4:30pm each day (AEDT). There will also be a networking opportunity for you to join at the end of each day.
This year’s theme ‘Disruption – Creator of Opportunities’, is very fitting as we overcome new challenges related to the pandemic. While we didn’t welcome its arrival, it has fast-tracked our evolution, which in hindsight we can be thankful for.
A big thank you to each of our guest speakers and moderators (listed below) who presented incredibly interesting and engaging sessions. The two days were packed with innovative concepts and strategies for how we can best use ‘#disruption‘ to build a better future for the higher education sector and society.
Unimutual is grateful to have been joined by so many of our Members and industry professionals for yet another year. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
Presenters
One of Australia’s most respected media personalities and radio hosts, James O’Loghlin, was conference MC. James is best known for hosting The New Inventors on ABC TV, and he is also the author of seven books including ‘Innovation is a State of Mind – Simple Strategies to be more Innovative in what you do’.
James’ experience in change and innovation sees him well placed to take our attendees through a program focusing on how we can use disruption to build a better future – for the higher education sector and for society.
