The Future of the Prospectus: a conference for FHE marcomms professionals
Tuesday 25 May 2010
Central London
Is the traditional prospectus on the wane as your students increasingly use digital communications or is the printed prospectus inviolate? Join us for a day's debate about how digital technologies and traditional printing are both competing for your potential students attention. In the keynote, Google will reveal how they might enhance digital activities; a printers' forum will discuss how print is evolving; and case studies from colleagues responsible for award-winning prospectuses will debate the role of the prospectus and their visions for the future. See the agenda for more details of this not-to-be-missed event.

Global economic pressures are more acute. This all makes for challenging times. The rich, one-day agenda features case studies from UK and EU universities, the British Council will present their latest intelligence, and commercial speakers (Google, and Educate) will discuss the latest online tools for reaching students through social networking and other digital developments.
