Call For Papers - CFP

With budgets tightening, talent growing harder to attract, and expectations rising among faculty, staff, and students, higher education can no longer rely on business as usual. HR leaders are being called to make faster, more strategic decisions - ones that drive meaningful, long-term impact.

This focused, peer-led event is designed for leaders shaping the future of their institutions. Across two days, you’ll hear about real stories from universities rethinking talent acquisition, workforce models, and the role of HR in driving performance, resilience, and long-term sustainability.

Built for senior audiences, LEAP HR: Higher Education offers practical insight, honest discussion, and the chance to step away from day-to-day pressures to think clearly about what needs to change next.

At a moment when the stakes are high and the path forward isn’t always clear, this is the space to learn from peers and move forward with confidence.
