QLD 2025 Chapter Summit

The Educate Plus QLD Chapter is thrilled to invite you to our 2025 Summit taking place on Monday 28 & Tuesday 29 July at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre for the Make Tomorrow Chapter Summit, a two-day professional development opportunity that will bring together Advancement Practitioners from across Queensland, in Tertiary Institutions, Residential Colleges and Schools, all dedicated to shaping the future together. 

The Summit, with sessions in Admissions, Alumni & Community Engagement, Fundraising, Marketing & Communications, Leadership and People & Culture, will be more than just a learning experience—it will also be an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and share insights with professionals who, like you, are passionate about building a better tomorrow.

Through these engaging sessions, meaningful conversations, and shared ideas, you’ll gain the tools and inspiration to create the future you envision, supported by the collective wisdom and energy of the QLD Chapter community. 

Don’t miss this opportunity … Let’s Make Tomorrow —together.

Note: Please note that photographs (official and candid) will be taken throughout the Summit. These will be uploaded to the photo gallery on the Educate Plus website, and will potentially also be used for Social Media and promotional purposes.
