What is Rep Conference 2026?
We launched the inaugural Rep Conference this year in February 2025. We invited Course Reps and School Reps accross all colleges to take part in an exclusive event for a day of networking, workshops and lively discussion.
Rep Conference is about recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution our Rep community makes to the student experience at UAL, while also providing opportunities for Reps to develop new skills and knowlede to support them in their roles and the creative careers they will go onto forge beyond university.
You can expect...
- Stalls: Providers like UAL Careers, Course Support and many more!
- Interactive Sessions: Workshops with experiencing facilitators to help you develop new skills and knowledge.
- Panel Discussion: A chaired discussion with senior UAL, Arts SU and elected Sabbatical Officer on a theme or topic relevant to the student experience.
- Networking: with external providers, UAL Staff, fellow reps.
- Light refreshments!
All Course and School Reps are invited to attend this FREE event. There are 100 available spaces available on a first come, first serve basis.
