Load Management & Planning SIG 1/2025

LIVE WEBINAR

Facilitator: Alferd Alferd, Performance Business Partner at Victoria University, Melbourne, and AAIR LM&P SIG Lead

Join us for a collaborative and engaging discussion as we kick off the 2026 student load planning cycle across our universities.

This interactive session is designed to bring together planners and strategists from across Australia and New Zealand to share insights, challenges, and innovations in load planning and management. Whether you're deep in the modelling phase or just beginning to shape your assumptions, this is a space to connect, learn, and exchange ideas.

We’ll explore:

• 🔍 What assumptions are shaping your 2026 load forecasts?

• 🛠️ Which tools and models are proving most effective—and which ones aren’t?

• 🌐 How are universities adapting to uncertainty in funding and policy?

• 📊 What does a “resilient” load plan look like in today’s environment?

• 🌏 How are institutions approaching international diversification to reduce risk and build sustainable enrolment pipelines?

Expect a mix of structured discussion and open Q&A. You can:

• Share your approach and hear what others are doing

• Ask questions or raise challenges you’re facing

• Or simply listen in to get a sense of sector-wide thinking

Whether you're a seasoned planner or new to the space, this session is a chance to step back, reflect, and gain fresh perspectives as we all navigate the evolving landscape of higher education planning.
