Brave is about acknowledging the risks - and moving forward anyway.

Stepping up, taking a leadership role, asking the awkward questions.

Brave is about the lessons learned and the fresh opportunities: what would you do differently if you were brave?
 

After 20 years of co-hosting the leading conference for tertiary education management in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, ATEM is turning boldly towards the future.

Let us introduce you to a new delegate experience. Practitioner-led and ambitious in its scope, ATEM 2023 is authentically designed by the sector, for the sector.

This October we will bring together specialists with current and future leaders in tertiary education management. Together we will explore innovative solutions to big issues -- not from a single disciplinary lens, but building on the breadth of skills and experiences of multiple specialisations.

ATEM 2023 delegates will:

  • share experience, research and learnings
  • encounter insightful concepts
  • reflect on their own practice and
  • return to their role re-energised and ready to lead positive change.

Be brave - make history with us in Melbourne, 11 to 13 October 2023.
