Call for speakers SSG20

20 October 2020 - Call for speakers SSG20

As you all know this year’s Support Services Group conference will be very different, no longer will we be meeting in Cardiff and sadly we won’t be able to meet in person, however, we have a great virtual conference coming your way in December.

The Theme - A New Order

We will be focusing on the opportunities and challenges of delivering blended support in a VUCA world. ucisa’s Support Services Group look forwards to welcoming you to our – virtual conference this 1st-3rd December, ‘A New Order’.

We would love for you to take part in the conference - be it through video or a short presentation - we have various opportunities for delegates to take part and we would love to hear from you with any suggestions.

  • Do you have any success stories over the last year that you would like to shout about and share with the SSG community? Let us know all about them we would all love to hear.
  • Have you never presented before? Been nervous of public speaking ? Why not speak at one of the most friendly and engaging conferences in higher education and to make things a little easier for you its virtual.
  • What about things that haven’t gone so well and have been a challenge? What have you and your teams done to get round those things?
  • Any process improvements or projects which have gone well and benefited the student / staff experience and you would like to share?


We’d really like you to share your stories, hear how great your team or your institution are, why you love working in our amazing sector or what you’re really proud of achieving.

There are a number of slots available. If you’d like to take part please complete the online form.

If more applications are received than spaces available, the committee will do it’s best to include everyone but cannot guarantee a slot if demand is high. And finally please don’t be put off by the form – it’s really short and won’t take long to complete.


Best wishes,

Andy and Jo
