Thank you to our partners, clients and the whole Gecko team for a day of informative sessions, networking and fun!
You can relive the action by watching the session recordings below.
Gecko Session
Matt opens Day Two by stepping back to look at the bigger picture. He traces the journey from trusted student data to conversations, chatbots and now AI agents, and shows how quickly AI is changing the way people work and the way students expect to be served. He sets out what institutions can do now to get ready, starting with governance, and ends with a first look at something new.
Customer Voices
Ruth returns to Forum with a view from inside a university: what's shifted over the last twelve months, what's making the job harder, and where institutions are choosing to put their energy. Not a forecast from the outside, but the reality from someone living it, and how we can support each other through it.
Customer Voices
Big events rarely get better by accident. Olivia and Kharmen share how Leeds treated each event cycle as a chance to test something new, kept what worked, dropped what didn't, and evolved their approach as Gecko developed alongside them. The real detail: what they tried, what surprised them, and what they'd tell a team just starting out.
Gecko Session
Following on from the announcement in Matt's keynote, Matt and Jonny take a closer look at what's in store: more on what's coming, what it means for the way your team works with students, and where agentic AI fits into your student engagement and CRM.
Customer Voices
What does going further actually look like? Institutions from further education and UK higher education share how their use of Gecko has grown, from a college only just starting out to long-standing partners on their next chapter: where they started, what changed along the way, and the wins that made the biggest difference. Honest, practical stories you can take straight back to your own team.
Gecko Session
We close Forum by celebrating ten of the year's standout successes from across the Gecko community, then pull two days of ideas down to the handful worth doing first.
