About the Event

THE Campus Live Japan

THE Campus Live is a suite of events that primarily focuses on finding solutions for the practical challenges of university management: its people, buildings and the educational system within which institutions operate. With iterations in the UK, US, ANZ and Southeast Asia, sessions will comprise content through a regional lens, including thought leadership panels, knowledge sharing and best practice case studies from the region’s institutions. Commercial content will be presented in the form of keynotes, panel discussions, demos and roundtables. The event is centred around learning and solutions; delegates will come away with practical knowledge, ideas and connections to improve their university’s working practices.

THE Campus Live Japan has been designed in consultation with the sector. As experienced in many international higher education sectors across the world, Japanese universities are emerging from the pandemic. There have been many discussions regarding what has changed and what has not changed following the last two years of uncertainties, in addition to many other challenges that haven’t been addressed since before the pandemic. The event will allow delegates to explore the post-pandemic future of Japanese universities and gain new ideas and insights for addressing their challenges. This will be the first THE Campus Live event to be held in Japan.
