A two-day conference exploring content-led approaches to inclusion, connection and community
Weds 20 - Thurs 21 May 2026 | Global and online
“Belonging” is a powerful word — and a complex challenge.
In the education sector, it’s closely tied to everything from student success and retention to staff wellbeing and inclusive institutional culture. But creating content that truly supports belonging is harder than it sounds.
This two-day online event is for anyone working in content, communications or student engagement who wants to better understand:
What belonging really means in an education context
The role content plays in shaping inclusive experiences
How to avoid performative messages and build real connection
Where content strategy meets community-building
Why this matters
Belonging doesn’t just happen. It’s created — moment by moment, interaction by interaction. From course descriptions to campus comms, your content is shaping who feels seen, included and valued.
We’ll explore how your work can foster deeper connection across the student journey, support inclusion and accessibility, and make your institution a place where people want to stay.
What to expect
Expert-led sessions grounded in research, lived experience and sector practice
Case studies from higher education institutions tackling belonging head-on
Discussions on inclusive content design, tone of voice, storytelling and engagement
Practical tools to take back to your team — and your editorial calendar.
Who’s it for?
You’ll get the most out of this event if you work in:
Higher education content or communications
Student recruitment, engagement or wellbeing
EDI, community-building or staff engagement
Digital experience or social media strategy
