The Higher Education Technology Agenda (THETA)

THETA is Australasia’s leading biennial IT conference for professionals working in higher education and research and eResearch. THETA brings together the sector's brightest minds and serves as an exciting forum to showcase ideas, research and best practice, gain new ways of thinking, and collaborate with like-minded contemporaries. 

The future of ICT in Higher Education and Research

The dawn of AI, cybersecurity threats and digital learning are signals of our modern times, but their arrival is nothing new. Higher education has always been confronted by advances in technology, legislation, and evolving ways of student learning – it’s just that now, their impact is more immediate. 

If change is our sector’s only constant, THETA asks how we can better prepare for and embrace it.

Speakers

THETA boasts a line-up of esteemed experts and speakers from institutions across Australia, New Zealand and the world. Through a mix of presentations, panel discussions and workshops, the conference is designed to offer solutions and best practice, highlighting how the intelligent use of information technology can enhance and improve the wider industry for students and staff. 

The Venue

THETA 2027 will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Melbourne isn’t just one thing, it’s many things, all happening at once. It’s ideas sparking over coffee, innovation thriving in hidden laneways, and connections forming in places you didn’t expect. You don’t come here for a single experience; you come to be inspired by the mix.

That’s Melbourne: a city built on individuality, collaboration, and constant reinvention. Every bit different, and every bit worth exploring during THETA 2027.
