About The World 100 Annual Conference
The most significant event in the Network’s calendar, the World 100 Reputation Network Annual Conference offers a key opportunity for members to share reputational achievements.
The conference offers invaluable networking opportunities in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. It allows members and non-members to exchange innovative perspectives on reputation, international relations, and global brand building.
Attended by Vice-Presidents, Directors, and Heads of Communications, Marketing, and International Relations at top universities, the World 100 Annual Conference welcomes both members and non-members, plus attendees from organisations within the higher education industry. New members are always encouraged to contribute presentations which enables them to promote brand profile to some of the most important influencers in higher education.
