From Pressure to Progress

Using Data to Drive Success in Higher Education

23 September 2026 | Venue Fenix, Good’s Yard, Manchester

 

Every university is being asked to do more with less.

 

  • Improve student outcomes.
  • Deliver more personalised support.
  • Embrace AI.
  • Reduce costs.

 

All while navigating increasing financial pressure, changing expectations and growing demands.

Event Details

Join Northumbria University, Oakland and Softcat for an exclusive evening roundtable exploring how universities are using data to innovate, make better decisions, identify students who need support earlier and improve outcomes across the student journey.

You’ll hear first-hand how Northumbria University is using data to better understand and support its students, alongside practical examples from universities including Leeds, Southampton, Nottingham Trent and Northampton.

Together we’ll explore:

  • How leading universities are using data to improve student success and deliver more personalised support.
  • The role technology and AI can play in helping staff make better, faster decisions.
  • How institutions are overcoming fragmented data, legacy systems and organisational barriers.
  • Practical lessons you can start to implement.
  • A refreshingly honest sharing session with your peers facing many of the same challenges.

This is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, hear what’s working in higher education and join a candid conversation with people who are tackling many of the same challenges.

Places are limited to encourage discussion. We’d love you to join us.
