5 things you will take away from the AppsAnywhere SUMMIT UK 2025

Reaching the peak of higher ed IT together is our SUMMIT Series motto, and this year we have the most exciting programme to date – exciting product news, customer presentations and training sessions. This must-attend event, taking place on Thursday 5^th June in London, is a rare chance to step away from your inbox and spend a day learning, reflecting, and connecting with peers across the sector. And this is what’s needed now more than ever, to meet today’s challenges.

Whether you’re a CIO, systems architect, or part of the IT support crew in higher education, this free one-day event is packed with insights, innovations, and inspiration to take your end-user computing strategies to new heights.  

Here’s a sneak peek at five things you’ll walk away with after attending.

1. What’s next for AppsAnywhere (and how it impacts you)

As most customers know, at AppsAnywhere we keep growing and innovating, it’s just who we are. And this year, we have lots of exciting developments to reveal. In the Product Roadmap session, COO Peter Cooke will share our much-anticipated product innovations and strategic direction for 2025 and beyond. It’s your chance to see what’s on the horizon, as we are bringing more solutions to the most common challenges in providing a flexible, BYOD learning environment and delivering the same experience for Windows apps on Mac devices.  

Plus, don’t miss the Support Powered Up session with Head of Support, Matthew Williamson. You’ll discover how the AppsAnywhere team is evolving to offer smarter, more scalable support tailored for today’s campus IT challenges.

2. Efficiency challenges (and how to overcome them)

Everyone’s talking about how to be more efficient and work with limited resources. At the SUMMIT, you’ll hear real-life stories from your peers in other institutions, dealing with the same pressures to cut costs, remove duplication and become more effective. This round table discussion, together with other topics of interests will spark new ideas, share practices and provide a forum for collaboration after the event. Don't forget to choose your topic of choice after you sign up for the event.

3. How to nail BYOD and cloud migration (with minimum disruption)

With students expecting personalised, anytime-anywhere access, a seamless BYOD experience is no longer optional. In breakout sessions like “AppsAnywhere Client 101: Enabling BYOD for Your Students” and “From On-Prem to Hosted: A Smooth Journey to AppsAnywhere Cloud”, you’ll get tactical guidance on delivering flexible, secure services—whether students bring Chromebooks, Macs, or Android devices.  

You’ll also hear from universities who’ve already made the leap to the cloud and the best practices they recommend to ensure a smooth transition.

4. Hands-on learning (you can apply immediately)

Forget passive presentations. The SUMMIT thrives on workshops, breakout training, and roundtable discussions. Whether you’re tuning your database, mastering application packaging, or exploring cybersecurity through the lens of Cyber Essentials, these sessions are designed to be directly applicable to your daily work.

You’ll leave with not just ideas, but checklists, steps, and real-world solutions from people who’ve been in your shoes.

5. The power of AppsAnywhere community (and some great catering too)

It’s not just what you learn—it’s who you meet. From the networking breakfast to the evening social on June 4th, the SUMMIT offers plenty of time to connect with fellow higher ed IT professionals, AppsAnywhere experts, and industry leaders. You’ll find kindred spirits, share war stories, and spark collaborations that last long after the event ends.
