  • A Reputation for Relevance
    Premier Media Partner A Reputation for Relevance Universities Engaging with Society The World 100 Reputation Network Annual Conference 2019 The University of Manchester, UK 10 and 11 September 2019 WELCOME elcome to The World 100 Reputation Network conference, and to The University of Manchester, W our impressive hosts for this annual gathering of reputation leaders from around the globe. As a founding member of the Network, Manchester has long been seen as an innovator in university communications and marketing, and with social responsibility embedded in its strategy, it also brings a unique focus to our conference theme of relevance and community engagement. The city of Manchester also holds great attraction as a world-famous centre for innovation, football, the media and the arts. We will have the opportunity throughout the conference to appreciate what the city has to offer. We come together at a time when universities around the globe are experiencing an unprecedented level of focus on the contributions they make to our wider society. Never before have universities come under such scrutiny; and the need has never been stronger to be leaders in professional approaches to reputation management, and to articulate clearly the benefits that institutions bring to this wider society. Helping us to highlight both these areas at the conference will be a range of speakers from around the world, bringing unique perspectives and providing opportunities for discussion and debate. There can be few more visible examples of the way in which universities engage with a wider public than Brian Cox, Professor of Particle Physics at The University of Manchester and the brightest star in the firmament of ‘public’ academics in the UK.
