GOETEC Annual Conference

GOETEC Annual Conference

Our annual conference now takes place in the Summer term and is hosted by one of our member institutions each year. The event attracts a wide range of colleagues from our member and partner organisations and beyond, from senior executives and decision-makers to managers and operational teams.  We welcome colleagues from our HE and FE membership, the wider HE and FE sector and the regional pubic sector, including county, city and district councils, health and emergency services.

At GOETEC, we share the ambition to enable and advance digital transformation through strong collaborative and mutually supportive relationships.  We come together annually in person to benefit from a range of expert talks, knowledge-sharing and networking with colleagues, sector leaders and key vendors in the sector.

Our 2026 GOETEC Conference will take place on 1 July 2026 at the Universities at Medway Campus, 9am-5pm.
