This session is for experienced professionals across education, policy, and industry who play a role in shaping how students and others engage online.
Drawing on real-world experience from cybersecurity, entrepreneurship and working in the public eye, Mia Collins looks at how professional digital footprints are created, often unintentionally, and how they influence credibility, engagement and opportunity.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach online presence in a way that feels authentic, manageable and responsible, and how to better support students and colleagues to navigate visibility with confidence and trust.
