Students are an integral part of our conference and the showcases offers a chance to celebrate the great work that goes on in our member Colleges. You know your students better than we do, so tell us what they can do! We are open to all ideas including skill showcases, performances and on-site assistance at the conference itself. To get involved all you need to do is to propose a student showcase. Please click here for more information.
