LIVE WEBINAR
Facilitator: Robert Wood, Manager, Business Intelligence, UNE
Join us for our upcoming Business Intelligence & Analytics Special Interest Group session – a place to connect with colleagues, share experiences, ask questions, or simply listen in and see what’s happening.
Our sector is evolving rapidly, and so is the role of business intelligence and analytics within higher education. This session will be an open, collaborative discussion where we reflect on how BI is shifting from reporting to insight generation, including:
- The evolving role of BI: from reporting to predictive and AI-driven insights
- Increasing adoption and data literacy: driving meaningful impact for staff, students, and leadership
- Balancing governance and agility: navigating compliance, privacy and risk while enabling fast, actionable insights
- Priorities for the year ahead: future direction of this SIG and the topics members want to see explored
As a group, we’ll identify common challenges and opportunities, and shape what comes next for both our practice and this special interest group. Your voice and experiences will help set the direction for future sessions.
Pricing:
- Members: FREE
- Non-members: $52.77 (AUD$45 + GST and booking fee)
THIS IS A LIVE WEBINAR AND WILL NOT BE RECORDED.
AAIR Forum 2025
17–19 November 2025
Rydges Gold Coast Airport, Queensland
From Beach to Benchmark – Surfing the Institutional Research Wave
Our theme, From Beach to Benchmark – Surfing the Institutional Research Wave, draws inspiration from the coastal setting of the Gold Coast. It reflects the dynamic nature of institutional research in higher education – where professionals are continually navigating shifting tides of data, policy, and strategy to support informed decision-making across their institutions.
The Forum will provide an opportunity for institutional researchers, surveys staff, planners, analysts, and higher education professionals to come together to explore innovative practices, share challenges, and develop strategies that will help shape the future of the sector. With a diverse program of presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, this year’s event promises to be rewarding and professionally enriching.
