This year’s conference will take place at Hull University Business School which is a leading UK business school dedicated to the development of responsible leadership for a complex world.
This is great news at it takes the UKSS back to where the first Conference was held nearly forty years ago, although if you were there you will find things have changed as in 2005, the School moved in to their new home, described by Sir Digby Jones, former Director General of the CBI, as a ‘world class learning and teaching facility'. Designed by esteemed architects Farrell and Clark, the school is a mix of new build and redevelopment. Contemporary links connect four Grade II listed buildings to create an inspirational yet practical space, equipped with the latest technology.
