Our events provide education providers, commercial organisations and employers with the opportunity to meet, inspire and connect with potential applicants, parents and advisers early in their decision-making process.

Connect with future talent

 

Our UCAS events and conferences are designed to showcase the fantastic opportunities available to young people, as well as providing parents and advisers with fresh student insight, along with information and guidance on how to best support their students. 

UCAS Discovery events give students the chance to explore higher education providers, apprenticeship providers, career paths, and commercial brands - all under one roof. 

Exhibitors have the opportunity to connect with young people, start new conversations, answer their questions, and build long-term connections during the crucial early decision-making stage. 

Whether you're a higher education apprenticeship provider looking for top talent, or a commercial brand eager to reach your next generation of customers, we can help you achieve your recruitment goals. 

Lead Generation

Exhibiting at our events is about more than just having a stand for the day. We can help you make a real connection with students by: 

  • Building awareness of your brand or organisation before the event
  • Helping you stand out and drive engagement during the event
  • Continuing the conversation after the event has finished

Unique Insights

Our unrivaled relationship with students means that we not only know about the people who come to our exhibitions - what they're interested in and what future options they're considering - but what they go on to do next. This allows us to: 

  • offer insights into their entire journey 
  • expertly advise on how to reach, engage, and stay connected with them
  • raise awareness amongst a wider audience or target students based on their preferences and application status 
Whatever your own recruitment and placement targets, we're perfectly placed to help you achieve them.
