Theta 2025
Embracing the Winds of Change in Higher Education
25-28 May 2025 | 8AM to 5PM AEDT | Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, Australia
Overview
According to Gartner, hyperautomation will become a strategic priority by 2025. It allows educational institutions to orchestrate a network of digital tools, from AI to no-code platforms, transforming entire academic and operational workflows.
The dawn of AI, escalating cybersecurity threats, and the rapid rise of digital learning environments are defining features of our modern era. Yet, while these forces may feel unprecedented in their velocity and impact, they are not entirely new to higher education. From the earliest days of computer-assisted learning to the evolution of data privacy legislation, our sector has consistently navigated waves of transformation driven by technology, policy shifts, and evolving student expectations.
What’s different today is the immediacy of their influence — change now arrives not in decades, but in days. Institutions must grapple with the double-edged sword of innovation: unlocking extraordinary opportunities while managing unprecedented risks. AI-powered personalization, while enhancing student outcomes, also challenges traditional assessment models. Expanded digital ecosystems drive global access but simultaneously open new frontiers for cybersecurity threats.
For over 2 decades, Espire has been meticulously focusing on enhancing the Total Experience enabling higher education players to deliver state-of-the-art Student Experience, Business Experience, and Employee Experience, with its hands-on expertise in Hyperautomation, AI, and GenAI.
