Before you commit to running your own event, find out if we have an opportunity for you to get involved with one of our multi-employer Fairs or Flagship events.  These high profile events and wider campaigns shine a light on particular topics and sectors that are of interest to a wide range of our students and graduates. 

Let us know if there is a topic you’d be interested in supporting with by completing our Expression of Interest Form, and check what is already open for bookings on our Fairs & Flagship Events page.
