Engage Summit 2026
We are delighted to share that The Engage Summit will take place in Birmingham on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 April 2026.
Building on the Engage Conference, it seeks to involve all those committed to the role of universities in building an inclusive knowledge system.
The Engage Summit will be the culmination of a year of engagement and consultation across the sector, inspiring us collectively to imagine ambitious but achievable futures for engaged institutions, and how to deliver them. With examples from outside and inside higher education, it will bring together a broad community, committed to building a better, more inclusive future for the higher education sector.
With strands focused on community-led engagement, leadership, creativity, and capability building, the Summit will provide opportunities for people to showcase their work and develop tactics for culture change. For anyone committed to civic partnerships; co-creation of knowledge; student engagement; knowledge exchange; or inclusive practice, we hope the Summit will galvanise us to work collectively for a better future.

While we won’t be holding an Engage conference before the Summit, we will be running a range of events and workshops across the sector as part of our Engaged Futures work, we hope you will get involved!
