Venue: Online via Zoom
Date: 20 January 2027
Time: 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

The AoC Governance Professionals Conference returns in 2027, bringing together governance professionals from across the further education sector for two mornings/afternoons of insight, reflection and practical development.
Designed specifically for governance professionals, clerks and directors of governance, this annual event provides a valuable opportunity to step back from day-to-day responsibilities and focus on strengthening your impact as a strategic adviser to the board.
The 2027 conference will explore the evolving role of governance professionals in a changing policy and regulatory landscape. Through a mix of keynote speakers, sector updates and interactive sessions, the programme will focus on supporting you to navigate complexity, provide effective assurance, and influence at the highest level.
There will be opportunities to hear from sector experts, share experiences with peers, and reflect on emerging themes.
Whether you are new to the role or highly experienced, the conference will offer practical insights, fresh perspectives and space to connect with colleagues across the sector.
Further details, including the full programme and speakers, will be announced soon.
