Submit your programme session ideas for Connect More

Help co-design our Connect More programme by sharing priority topics and issues you want to explore.

Connect More will be taking place online in both May and December each year. This marks an exciting expansion (having previously only been held once a year), offering even more opportunities to engage, learn and connect.

Sessions will run for either 30 or 45 minutes. Each session includes time for audience Q&A.

Submissions for the December event are now closed. We are currently accepting submissions for the May 2026 event. Please contact connectmore@jisc.ac.uk if you have any queries.
