The 2027 ANZAAN Conference
The ANZAAN Conference is an annual opportunity for alumni association leaders, committee members, schools and advancement professionals to come together, learn from one another and explore what's working across the alumni sector.
Expect another practical programme focused on the real opportunities and challenges facing alumni associations.
We'll bring together experienced practitioners, subject-matter experts and alumni leaders to share ideas you can take back and use within your own association.

BUILDING ON 2026
Our Inaugural Conference Was Just the Beginning
In June 2026, we brought the alumni community together at St Peter's School, Cambridge for the inaugural ANZAAN Conference.
Across the day, delegates explored topics including:
Governance and committee effectiveness
Membership and alumni engagement
Building stronger relationships with schools
Events and community building
Privacy and data
Technology and finding lost alumni
Endowments and fundraising
Sponsorship and commercial partnerships
Creating value for members
Building loyalty and belonging
But some of the most valuable conversations happened between the sessions – meeting other people dealing with many of the same challenges, sharing experiences and discovering how other associations are approaching them.
In 2027, we'll do it again – and build on what we started.
ANZAAN Conference 2027
What to expect in 2027
We're developing the 2027 programme now.

Practical
Ideas, examples and approaches you can actually take back and use.
Relevant
A programme built around the issues alumni associations are dealing with right now.
Shared
Opportunities to hear what's working – and what's not – from other associations.
Connected
Time to meet other alumni leaders, build relationships and become part of a wider community.
Forward-Looking
New thinking about technology, engagement, governance and the future role of alumni associations.
