It gives a partnership opportunity for global service providers to connect to leading innovators in the HigherEd sector around the world.

Professor Martin Betts has more than 40 years of experience in academic and senior leadership roles in universities in Australia and around the world. He has now built on this sector expertise to create deep relationship with university and sector leaders around the globe and a trusted relationship with all in the sector whilst challenging it to, and helping it embrace change.

As Deputy Vice Chancellor of Engagement at Queensland’s Griffith University from 2014 to 2020, he developed the first comprehensive engagement plan by an Australian university, leading award-winning engagement with corporate partners in multiple sectors, including the largest public engagement ever by an Australian university at the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
