Thursday 1 October, 11 am-12:30 pm The many faces of education: Challenges, opportunities and the future This panel discussion will explore the future of education in the VET and higher education sectors, particularly in light of the recent and rapid transformation of education offerings and support services in response to COVID-19.

Thursday 15 October, 1-2 pm The importance of leadership: New thinking and strategies for an education sector in flux This interview will explore factors that are likely to impact the sector beyond COVID-19, what the latest literature and research tell us regarding effective leadership, and the strategies that leaders can adopt to ensure they meet, identify and manage challenges and maximise opportunities in a post-pandemic world.
Thursday 22 October, 2-3:30 pm Supporting scholarship and learning at the organisational and sector level The theme of this session will be to consider how organisations and the wider education sector can support scholarship and the adoption of evidence-based teaching and research practice at the organisational and sectoral level and across different groups and stakeholders.
Thursday 29 October, 3-4:30 pm Business not as usual: Education business models for a disrupted sector Prior to COVID-19, most discussions on disruption focused on the impact of the digital revolution on education delivery business models. However, COVID-19 has shown that the potential impacts may come from other quarters. This facilitated roundtable discussion will consider and analyse the factors that are likely to shape future educational business models, and the implications for the business models and what these models might look like to best meet social and student needs.
