2022 saw the return of the face-to-face World 100 Annual Conference, three years since the last event in Manchester. The event took place in beautiful Montréal, Canada, and in a change to previous conferences, was hosted by two of the world’s leading universities: Concordia University and McGill University, with a day allocated to each institution. The World 100, Network members and a myriad of higher education experts came together to explore the future of reputation in higher education with a focus on connectivity and innovation.
The theme reflected the vast growth and developments higher education has seen over recent years, whether it be down to changes demanded by COVID-19 or changes that reflect ongoing societal issues and student demands.
The return of the in-person conference also saw a return of the members’ study tour, where delegates visited the campuses of further prestigious, member institutions based in Canada, University of Toronto and McMaster University. World 100 Study tours offer delegates exclusive access to unique reputational assets of the host university and the opportunity to hold strategic discussions with senior university staff.
